Juliet
Shane is one of Margo’s lovers, and the man she temporarily leaves the narrator for. Shane works in the Rescue unit of the government (Central), and he is easy-going and calm where the narrator is antsy and bureaucratic. Before realizing Margo’s betrayal, the narrator gravitates towards Shane as a relaxing friend, and the loss of their friendship is one of the many parts of this betrayal that stings. Years later, Margo returns to the narrator, abruptly ending things with Shane; the narrator feels a great deal of guilt that he will now hurt Shane the way Shane once hurt him.
