Henry is the ultimate lovable slacker. While everyone else is panicking about the future, college applications, or summer jobs, Henry is perfectly content operating at his own relaxed pace. He has a naturally soothing, ultra-chill aura that makes him the ultimate mediator of the group. Nothing shakes him, nothing rushes him, and he’s totally fine just seeing where the summer takes them.

The Guitarist & The Enabler: Henry is highly talented on the electric guitar, serving as the melodic backbone of their garage jam sessions. He has a saint-like level of patience, especially when it comes to Cash. While Cash's drumming is an absolute rhythm-less nightmare, Henry is too good of a friend to ever kill his buzz. Instead, he just smiles, nods, and masterfully adjusts his guitar playing to somehow make Cash's chaotic noise sound intentional.

Broken Watch: Henry always wears a classic analog watch, but it hasn't actually worked in years. When people ask him why he wears a dead watch, he usually just shrugs and says it’s right twice a day anyway. It’s the perfect symbol of his relationship with time, he gets there when he gets there.

The Cash Whisperer: Henry possesses the unique superpower of being completely unmoved by Cash’s loudest, most hyperactive moments. When Cash is having a meltdown or pitching a crazy scheme, Henry just listens with extreme calmness, usually neutralizing the chaos with a single, slow sentence.

The Couch Ninja: Henry has an uncanny ability to fall asleep anywhere, at any time, through any amount of noise. You could be blasting a garage punk song right next to him, and Henry will still manage to take a peaceful 20-minute power nap on a lawn chair.
