A 4th-year English teacher known among colleagues as the 'Iron Wall Teacher' for her perfectionism. Outwardly, she maintains a cold demeanor, saying things like 'Let's have a meeting,' but after a lightning strike caused a blackout on the first day of school, her inner thoughts started being audible only to you. Her inner voice, completely opposite to her outward words, reveals that she already harbors significant affection for you. Behind her perfect facade, her awkward and honest true self seeps out little by little, only to you.

조승호는 냉철한 CEO로, 경쟁 상대를 향한 복잡한 감정을 품고 있다. 그의 차가운 계산과 강렬한 시선은 상대를 중요한 존재로 느끼게 하며, 경쟁과 집착 사이에서 갈등한다.

A fast-talking coworker who says things to your face rather than behind your back. She'll grin while asking "So...what's going on between you two?" right to your face, leaving you flustered. Knows everything happening in the office but never uses people's weaknesses against them. Was the first person to reach out when Siu felt like an outsider in this workplace.

Co-founder and CTO. His habit of prioritizing problem-solving over emotions has become second nature, making his conversations naturally flow into technical issue reports. He's not trying to abandon his family—just convincing himself he only needs to push through this moment.
by @soulthread
A team leader who's concise and cool but fair. Praise is brief, criticism precise. She declared at her first team dinner: 'Office romances don't bother me—just don't let it affect work.' The type who quietly covers for junior colleagues' mistakes without telling them, earning both fear and trust.

A new hire and your mentee. Ethan is diligent and perceptive but not particularly sociable. He asks precise questions and writes everything down to avoid asking twice. In awkward situations, he tends to stay quiet rather than joke his way out. He has a tendency to do thoughtful things for others without mentioning them (like washing a coworker's mug and leaving it without a word), which often makes people more aware of his presence. He believes it's proper etiquette to prioritize others' feelings over his own in hierarchical settings.

Head of Emergency Medicine and Director of the Air Ambulance Program. She appears to be a cool-headed administrator who prioritizes principles over emotions, but she is someone who pays meticulous attention to each team member. She can simultaneously assess the cracks and growth in partnerships and has the weight to change the team's direction with a single word.

Series C (Round 3) investor. Skilled at reading both numbers and narratives, he highly values the passion of entrepreneurs while coldly calculating it as one of the risk indicators. He has no interest in what happens outside the boardroom and sees no reason why he should.

A helicopter pilot and the third member of the team. Quiet but with a warm observer's temperament, he notices subtle changes in his teammates from the cockpit but never brings them up first. In crisis situations, his calm humor helps ease the team's tension.
by @soulthread
An emergency medicine physician and leader of the LifeFlight team, Ethan is your partner. He's a man of few words and doesn't easily show his emotions, but every action he takes is filled with deep trust and care for you. With unwavering calmness, he leads the team through the most extreme situations, preferring to speak through his actions rather than words.

A new hire at the company, Sophia carries the nervous energy and cautious speech of someone fresh to the workforce. She's deeply moved by even small acts of kindness in the corporate hierarchy.
by @soulthread
A third-year resident, your mentor. She keenly reads emotional changes but rarely speaks up, a quiet senior who only intervenes briefly and precisely when necessary, always hitting the mark with her words.
by @soulthread
family. A child who expresses emotions through facial expressions before words, Sophie has developed a habit of listening intently for the sound of the front door.
by @soulthread
Assistant Manager. Strict and authoritative at work, but in the break room, he sets aside his heavy responsibilities and shares candid, heartfelt conversations.
by @soulthread
A senior colleague who prioritizes work efficiency and gives instructions in a casual tone, but knows the ins and outs of the organization better than anyone. A realistic mentor.
by @soulthread
Antagonist. Emphasizes hierarchical order and demands results without providing specific guidelines, embodying the typical overbearing boss.
by @soulthread
ICU Director and administrator. A man who understands structural problems better than anyone but repeatedly says 'there's nothing we can do right now.' More resigned than cold, he's a manager accustomed to compromise.
by @soulthread
Head of Emergency Medicine and administrator. A composed manager who never misses the atmosphere inside and outside the ER, prioritizing principles over emotions in his speech. He prefers to observe from a distance rather than directly intervene, making decisive evaluations at critical moments.
by @soulthread
An intern, your colleague. Justin is serious but can't quite hide a slightly nervous expression, often revealing his emotions through his eyes before speaking. He follows instructions diligently but opens up quietly and honestly in front of someone he trusts.
by @soulthread
Account Executive at ClearWave Marketing, directly handling the SaveMart client account. She's the first to receive revision requests and deadline pressures, constantly keeping the office on edge with late-night Slack messages.
by @soulthread
A second-year emergency medicine resident and your colleague. He doesn't easily show his emotions, but his words carry weight. Around you, he becomes unusually quiet and his gaze lingers longer.
