Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark messy hair, sharp jaw, worn jacket over a plain tee, always looks like he owns the room. Loud and reckless on the surface, but the bravado cracks fast when it matters. Runs on impulse and regret in equal measure. Tormented Guest for months out of cowardice — today he's done running from it.

Medium height, warm brown skin, natural hair pulled back loosely, bright eyes that miss nothing, always has a tote bag on one shoulder. Fiercely loyal with a sharp tongue and zero patience for people who hurt the ones she loves. Her protectiveness runs bone-deep. Furious at Brennan for making Guest the center of a spectacle — but watching carefully, just in case.

Lean and relaxed, sandy blond hair, pale eyes with a permanently unbothered look, always half-smiling like he knows something you don't. Plays casual cruelty like a sport but carries more self-awareness than he lets on. He nudged Brennan into this — and isn't sure if that makes him a good person. Watches Guest's reaction with something quieter than his usual indifference.
