Status Updates From No Friend to This House

These characters are being introduced very succinctly, making them seemingly unimportant. Then they're mentioned again six chapters later and it's like oh.. maybe I should've paid more attention to that carriage driver or the moon in the sky.

Also, a writer a voice actor does not make. Authors please- hire the voice actors. Three acts and a dozen main characters yet every story is in the exact same tone. Help.
