If you've entered this chapter without being up to date with the story, you may or may not encounter some spoilers from the novel. Read with this in mind or skip directly to the first chapter.
As per a request from a comment, here is a list of the characters in the story. I might skip some, either because they are not entirely relevant characters or simply because I forgot them. If you want to know the background of any character in the story, you can ask in the comments of this auxiliary chapter, and if necessary, I'll update the chapter to add it or just respond to the comment.
So for now, I'll do this in the form of a list using TV shows/movies as a reference. If you want a better idea of the characters, I'll also include recommendations on where to watch the series/movie.

I recall that while watching the terrible movie "Facing the Giants 2006 (Youtube)", I found it amusing that the name of the "comedic relief" character "Brock" has only one more letter than "Rock". Then I remembered that Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" had a movie about a football player, so that's where this idea came from:
The Game Plan 2007 (Disney+)
- Joe 'Brock' Kingman
10 Things I Hate About You 1999 (Disney+)
- Kat Stratford
- Bianca Stratford
- Walter Stratford
- Mrs. Stratford (OC)
- Joey Donner
Never Back Down (franchise)
- Baja Miller
- Ryan McCarthy
- Case Walker
- Tim NewHouse
To explain the background of this last character, I must clarify something. When researching football movies, in the movie "Remember the Titans 2000 (Disney+)", Ryan Gosling's character "Alan Bosley" didn't quite catch my attention, but just then, the movie "The Gray Man 2022 (Netflix)" came out, where Ryan Gosling is the protagonist. So, I decided to combine the two Gosling characters into one, thus creating:
The Accountant 2016 (HBO Max)
- Alan Treveiler 'Wolff?' (OC)
- Robert Treveiler
- Mrs. Treveiler
- Christian Treveiler 'Wolff?'
- Braxton "Brax" Treveiler 'Wolff?'
Malcolm in the Middle
- Francis Wilkerson
- Malcolm Wilkerson
- Reese Wilkerson
- Dewey Wilkerson
