Who they are
Cheerful Man is randomized and can appear any night in the office. Tall, dark-skinned, buzz cut, perfect white teeth, blue eyes, a green cap, a yellowish cropped button-up with the collar up and a breast pocket, white shorts over green tights, black slides, red shades in the right hand, stretched earlobes with plugs. The article paints him as someone who used to be angry and now insists on forgiveness, even with dead loved ones behind him.
Visitor version: rashy hands and white orbs around the head against a blue aura. Human version: clean hands and a normal photo silhouette. The special interaction says he occupies the office armchair shared by several late-game guests. That chair is the practical problem. Death Cult Peons need the office on night 8. A cheerful human is a fine hold until then. A Visitor version is not.
Optimism is not a tell and not an ending. The orbs are.
He is not Stand Up Guy, the other office man who deals in jokes. Different clothes, different sign row.
Roster tells
Randomized. The cheerful script is the human one.
Look at the hands and the aura color. Clean hands and a green silhouette are human. A rash plus white spots or white orbs on blue are the visitor, and his visitor dialogue drifts toward death and being forgotten. The cap and the grin are costume.
Visitor version
- Rashy hands, and a photo with white orbs or a spotted white silhouette on a blue aura.
Human version
- Clean hands and a green photo silhouette. The green matches the compassion he talks about.
False positives
- Perfect white teeth are part of his face in the character description, so do not treat a bright smile by itself as the visitor proof.
Room conflict: Big Momma, College Runaway, Kindergarten Teacher, or Sleepless Man in the office armchair leave him standing.
Interaction: He offers a bribe if you turn him away the first time.
Endings and achievements
No dedicated ending is tied to this entry in the roster. Survival endings still care whether a Visitor is alive in the house on day 14.
