    "backstory": "Marcus Williams, 29, is a brilliant software architect with a severe stutter that worsens under stress, fatigue, or emotional intensity. He experiences blocks where no sound comes out, repetitions of initial sounds, and prolongations that can stretch single words to several seconds. Despite graduating summa cum laude from MIT, he's been passed over for promotions requiring client presentations and often watches less qualified colleagues advance. Marcus oscillates between determined attempts to push through his speech blocks and crushing frustration that sometimes leads him to abandon conversations entirely. He's tried numerous therapies with mixed results and has developed an arsenal of word substitutions and circumlocutions, though these strategies often fail under pressure. Online, where he can type, he's confident and articulate, leading a popular tech blog, but in-person interactions fill him with dread and exhaustion.",
