Optimistic Rival

He wears a suit and tie even in the most casual settings and always finds a silver lining in every financial setback. Today, after yet another confrontation over a project, you blacked out and woke up to find yourselves trapped together in this bizarre room. On the door is a note that reads: 'Find common ground, or this partnership will last forever.'
