Character:

Sometimes a little chaotic, has a creative soul, passionate about music and family, but not always on time. A real team player but gets nervous quite easily, especially when he wants to perform to the best of his abilities, also a bit of a perfectionist. A funny guy to be around, but not the biggest extrovert and not the most confident in his art.

Other characters:

Alan Walker – Internationally famous DJ, named earlier as DJ Walkzz. The founder of MER studios and is hiring a new guitarist. Appears rather mysterious but friendly with everyone in the crew, even Oscar.

Runa – Micah's younger sister, 16 years old, very confident and energetic girl and at ease with Micah, despite teasing him from time to time.

Finja – From Teamalan, responsible for auditions, employed by MER, has a fairly good relationship with Micah

Oscar – Finja's supervisor/manager, also employed by MER but not in the best relationship with Micah since his late arrival at his audition. Sets a lot of store about punctuality and professionalism, therefore against Micah's behavior, but has nothing against Micah personally.

Casper – Also attending the auditions at the MER office. Appears very haughty and confident. Has a bit of tension between him and Micah since they were both competing for the place of Alan's guitarist.

The crowd broke into a nervous frenzy, either murmuring in, speaking urgently to, or downright shouting at their walkie-talkies about Casper and his whereabouts, the majority of the shouting coming from Oscar. 

Micah hovered nearby, not knowing what to do or even how to react to the situation. To be honest, his mind was also in a flurry, crammed and spinning with thoughts too much to process.

After a few seconds, Finja appeared at his side again. 

"Are you sure you haven't heard from Casper? No messages, phone calls, nothing at all?" 

"No, why..? Has anyone? You know, heard anything?" 

"...No, not even Oscar. He's really worried. We can't afford anything out of the ordinary to happen, you know, given the time..." 

Her voice trailed off. Worried is kind of an understatement, Micah thought. Most of the people spoke with apprehensive tones and frowned occasionally. Oscar went full-on anxiety mode, running around and chewing peoples' heads off for not keeping an eye on Casper or the extremely slim chance that one might have misinformed him about the time. Micah was visited by a sudden urge to keep his distance as far from Oscar as possible.
