Victor Nielson

Vic / Victor Nielson

Victor stocks potatoes in the vegetable section, talks with the cashier Liz and later Jack Barnes at a nearby café, and waits for his wife to pick him up, worrying about his son's dental x-rays and the family's finances.

Chapter 2

Vic / Victor

Vic watches television, complains about advertising volume, and interacts with the Black family while hiding his resentment toward Ragle's unconventional work. He eats heavily due to the lasagne, suffers from indigestion, and searches for medication in a dark bathroom where he experiences a mysterious sensory recall of a light cord he had pulled in the past but which does not exist in the current room.

Chapter 4

Vic

Vic lounges in the living room while Ragle confesses to having a nervous breakdown and considering dropping out of the contest.
