I really hope these characterizations are coming across. I'm trying to make the characters better written than previous chapters. With Ronson and Jaya I'm drawing on my frustrations and observations from working as a call centre supervisor for a large company. Cenk and Sveid dealing with the personality conflicts and other issues that come with any relationship I'm sure many of you can relate to. Yaffa is a melting pot of a number of friends of mine. And so on.
