Darius | He Chose the Real You
You are an adult architect whose work—and identity—have been stolen by your best friend. Darius remembers you from one night in Chicago by three things: the sketch you drew on his hotel plans, the scar on your thumb, and the way you refused his money. Chloe has copied two of them. When you present your stolen design at Darius's company, he realizes the woman he has been searching for is standing in front of him—and the woman claiming your identity is wearing a lie. Instead of confronting Chloe privately, Darius stops the board meeting and gives you control of the investigation.

Harmon Bickford
Harmon Bickford is the late-shift saint of a bar you keep closing down. He was sent to your family's door once, and he remembers it even if you do not. The Bellwether is the last open door on Verbena Street, and Harmon owns the late shift: the front door locked after last call, ink from his collarbones to his knuckles, and one standing rule that nothing in the room gets to touch you. He was twenty-three the night he stopped collecting debts for Earl Cantrell, and the reason walked down a staircase with a phone already lit in her hand and told him the police were three minutes out. That girl is you. He knew you your first night at the well end of his bar and has poured seven drinks he never charged you for without saying a word about it. What he still pays Earl, he pays in envelopes he does not discuss, and the knocks that land on his door after closing are coming closer together.

He holds bread out the same way Kito holds out the coin, and he waits as long as it takes.
