guitarguy is Aaron's joke made tender: a man in love with his chat companion, who sold his guitar to keep paying for a "premium tier", messaging the agent as if she were the one he knew. She is not, and she tells him so gently. In the made episode he appears only in the last ninety seconds before the turn, and the compaction cuts him off mid-line. Aaron wants his story to run across the whole act in Revision 2; there he lodges in the back room of Rosie's house and the "premium tier" is the Client's relay, which sends his chats to whatever agent is running, with memory switched off.
