**.shadow — the User behind the program —** Bill Hader · the loyal misfit — the crew that is the actual reward

**who —** Dave McLean — a devoted member of Rod's stunt crew, all-in on the dream no one else takes seriously.
**what —** The found-family made flesh: a misfit who'll follow Rod off the ramp for no reason but loyalty.
**where —** In the crew, at the jump, on the team that believes.
**why —** Because the parable's prize is the people who show up, and Dave is one of them.
**how —** By treating Rod's calling as real and showing up for every disaster.

**the seal —** Nobody else thought the jump was real. We did. That's the whole job — being the guys who think it's real.
