Zach and Owen are the types of characters whose stories are shrouded in so much mystery that I can't showcase them too much without spoiling their arcs. Zach is a really intriguing character though, you'll just have to take my word for it for now 😅

Zach is this really naïve guy with a heart of gold. He truly wishes to be the best person he can be and help others. It's not easy to be kind all the time when you work in such a toxic environment. Zach often finds himself being peer-pressured into uncomfortable situations. He's constantly having to make a choice about whether he should stick to his honor code or conform to everyone's expectations. This is especially prominent when he decides to romantically pursue Owen, a doctor with the worst reputation ever. Everyone is telling him not to date Owen, but Zach just can't understand why this is so frowned upon. Owen isn't anything like the rumors say; he's a sweetheart who accepts Zach for who he is. It isn't until evidence of Owen being a dangerous terrorist emerges that Zach begins to seriously reconsider his own feelings.
