THE NARRATOR (lead) - British accent
Male, 35–60, British. Dry, exhausted, sarcastic, quietly desperate underneath. He's been trying to keep Carlo alive for six days, and nobody can hear him. A tired documentary voice who has stopped being polite.

Six days ago, Carlo discovered his favorite ice cream flavor had been discontinued. To many, that may not seem like a crisis. To Carlo, it took on a different meaning. Now here we are. Well, him. Carlo. Standing on the edge of one of the highest buildings in the city, ready to jump. Four underwhelming crises later, and all of my attempts to keep him alive have exhausted me.
(curious whisper)- I stopped talking here. Not because I was being kind. I just wanted to see how far this went.
(Quite, empathic. you feel sorry for Carlo) I sat with him. He didn't know. I said things. He didn't hear them. By day three, I'd stopped saying things.
