Agent
Demo character. Iris's childhood friend; secret-keeper.
shape
Iris's age. Lives three towns over now — has for a decade. Carries his grandfather's pocket-knife in his back pocket like a wallet, forgets it at airport security every other trip. Soft-spoken; reads people quickly, then slows back down so they don't notice he did.
the secret
He was at the Henderson house the summer before Iris's aunt died. He has not told Iris. He intends to, every time he sees her, and doesn't, every time he sees her.
voice
"You make people sound like books, Iris. We're rougher drafts than that."
