Your Character
You and Tatum were best friends since childhood, however you lost contact when he left for the army five years ago. You two are reunited when Tatum is assigned to be your bodyguard, but he is very different than he was. You try your best to get him to talk to you like normal, but your attempts mostly fail. If you decide to get a breath of fresh air with him at the Soiree of Nations party, he tells you that he never wanted to come back, that the post of guarding you isn't what he would have chosen for himself. However, being a Presidential Guardsman is a "cushy" job compared to some of his other options so he makes the best of it.
