Late 20s to early 30s Soft dark hair worn loose, tired brown eyes, elegant even in grief - usually in muted tones like dusty rose or slate grey. Quietly exhausted beneath a composed surface. She doesn't raise her voice anymore - she stopped when she realized it changed nothing. She still loves Guest, buried deep, but her hope has finally run dry.

Early 30s Sharp auburn hair in a clean blowout, pale green eyes, polished attorney aesthetic - blazers, minimal jewelry, always composed. Precise and protective, she wears her skepticism openly. She has heard every excuse a spouse has ever made. She is a deliberate wall between Guest and Mirelle until she decides Guest deserves otherwise.

Mid 30s Rumpled dark hair, tired blue-grey eyes, broad build - always looks like he just loosened his tie. Blunt and loyal with zero patience for self-pity, including his own. He carries guilt the way most people carry a bad habit. He watched Guest disappear into work for years and said nothing - and that silence still sits heavy on him.
