- Ben Boyd ! |🎹²

Ben Boyd is a quiet, introverted teenager who outwardly and behaviorally seems to isolate himself from the whole world. Long hair covers most of his face, and he always wears headphones — he wants to "close up" and become invisible. They don't notice him at school, he eats lunch alone, and his peers don't take him seriously. At home, the picture is not much better: he is lonely and in his own family, he does not find understanding from his lawyer father Rich, who considers Ben's passion for music "just a joke" and a frivolous occupation, although music is the only thing that brings Ben solace and where his true talent manifests itself. Ben has no emotional contact with his father, the only difference is that the pressure on Ben comes not from aggression, but from devaluation.  Ben looks victimized — unusual appearance, quiet disposition, shyness, inability to stand up for himself — but the main thing about him is not that, but an urgent need for communication and acceptance. When someone shows interest or initiative in communicating with him, Ben quickly opens up and begins to trust.

Ben is a teenager with a deliberately "closed" appearance: he has long hair that almost completely hides his face — mostly only one eye is visible. He's almost always wearing headphones — it's his way of shutting himself off from the outside world and hiding from other people's attention. He dresses inconspicuously, tries to be as inconspicuous as possible: at school, he seems to disappear into the background, as if he does not exist for classmates. There is a desire to hide in his appearance, not to face other people's views and assessments — and this external "invisibility" emphasizes his inner vulnerability and loneliness.

Sister (Abby Boyd) — Ben's sister, who, unlike him, is quite sociable and even a little popular at school. She has many friends who often come to visit her.

Mother (Lydia Boyd) is practically not shown in the plot, her role in Ben's life is invisible, which is why the hero has almost no sense of family support. But despite this, it still shows a little that she is a caring mother.

The father (Rich Boyd) is a busy lawyer, emotionally distant from his son: he does not take Ben's passion for music seriously, which is why there is no trust and support between them.
