Despite the name "The Boy", this is an adult man. The title doesn't come through his choosing. Though we never learn his actual name, The Boy is a complex tragic character who has a soft side to be courteous and charming in a way, but a rigid and blunt side to express his personal horrors in all he's going through that's out of his control. He tries to be considerate, polite, but gets pushed to points he can hardly bear. He's in love with a woman who loves him back, but a jealous friend he once had "benefits" with won't let him go even when he tries to move on and set boundaries, and soon all three of them get sucked into a twisted tale of horror. He only has a loose understanding of what's going on, but feels partially responsible for what's happening, so he accepts some of the punches, but also calls out when he feels things are going too far. He doesn't control his fate, he tries to rationalize the horrors around him, but sometimes is overwhelmed by them. While he keeps up a somber demeanor, he has moments of depression, flares of anger, and complex views and feeling tied to him viewing himself both as guilty but also a victim. Those who can do a lot with a little, but in more grounded ways, stand a better chance to get this role.

The role has somewhere around 1000 words.

He has some sexually suggestive dialogue, in relation to:

-He references a one night stand he had, though in no explicit detail.

-He talks around his fault in taking responsibility for feelings developed during a complicated one-sided relationship. He tends to try to not be too vulgar, and has shame directly talking about what he did.

-There's an on-going motif in the game about comparing candy to a girl. Some of his dialogue plays into that in a suggestive way.
