Characters
FINN [TBC]
The protagonist is a mid-30s gay man and department store salesman with a love for art and exploration. He values family above all else and cherishes every moment of his life. Finn's childhood taught him the importance of hard work and giving back, which led him to volunteer and work with children. His refined taste in art and theatre comes from his well-connected family. Finn is in a happy relationship with Pascal, and he strives to make each day fun and enjoyable for both of them. With a desire for a family of his own, Finn feels he's found the perfect partner to raise a child with, making life all the more fulfilling.
PASCAL [TBC]
Finn's partner is a mid-30s mortgage solicitor who's practical, logical, and sexually liberated. Raised unconventionally by his auntie who owned a beauty salon, he has an eccentric fashion sense and a tendency to fluctuate from high to low moods. Despite his love for parties and adrenaline, he can be sweet when seeking something he wants. Pascal is currently in a 6-year-long relationship with Finn, a significant milestone for someone not traditionally viewed as good boyfriend material. They're now considering adopting a child, but it's unclear if Pascal is truly ready for this step.
