Character Descriptions:
Jim Fingal (Age: 20s–30s)
The Role: An eager, recently graduated Harvard intern working as a fact-checker.
Personality: Earnest, uncompromising, and deeply committed to protocols. He values black-and-white data over artistic expression and wants to verify every single detail to the letter of the law.
John D'Agata (Age: 40s–60s)
The Role: A celebrated, fiercely independent literary author.
Personality: Highly confident and unapologetic. He defends his embellishments as necessary to capture the "emotional truth" and aesthetic beauty of a story, arguing that literal facts only bog down a great piece of writing.

The Role: The determined, ambitious Editor-in-Chief of a prestigious but financially struggling Manhattan magazine.
Personality: Caught in the middle of a high-stakes standoff. She desperately needs D'Agata's compelling, groundbreaking essay to save the publication, but she also needs to maintain her magazine's journalistic integrity
