Hal Fine
Hal is Matilda鈥檚 accompanist 鈥� in music and in life. A dedicated music-nerd, Hal鈥檚 public school polish can鈥檛 hide a certain lovable gawkiness. If Matilda鈥檚 musicality comes from a place of passion and intuition, Hal鈥檚 is all intellect and rigour. Hal has been in love with Matilda from the moment he met her; a love that he knows will never be reciprocated, at least not in the way he wishes. Matilda knows it too, of course, yet they never speak of it.
