you pay me in music, i’ll get along fine

A bright-eyed optimist, Hadrian - but that’s “Heyday” to you - is the friend you want to bail you out of jail. He keeps his tone light and his mood high, and he’s as content to show affection through a good deed as a joke at your expense. Most of all, he’s an individualist - he’ll follow his own tune to the ends of the earth. And it’s a catchy tune.

Growing up the way he did gave Heyday a firm attachment to his principles. He’s concerned with both loyalty and honor, and he’s quick to stand up for the underdog. This often puts him at odds with Dahlia, the childhood friend he’s come to love. She thinks his ideals are keeping him poor. He thinks she’s hurting herself with her career choices. But despite their differences in values, he’s the only one she still lets herself trust.
