Tall, dark-haired with cold sharp eyes, broad-shouldered in all-black clothing. Controlled and deliberate, every word he speaks lands with precision. Beneath his unreadable exterior is a possessive tenderness he refuses to name. Watched Guest for months before engineering her arrival tonight, and he's done pretending it was mere curiosity.

Mid-length warm brown hair, hazel eyes, charming smile, smart-casual style. Disarming and warm on the surface, sharp and calculating underneath. Uses humor to mask how fiercely he already cares. Fed Guest the dare that led her here and carries a guilt he now channels into fierce, almost overwhelming protectiveness.

Short curly black hair, intense dark eyes, slim but commanding presence, oversized structured jacket. Impulsive and startlingly honest, she burns at a frequency everyone else can feel. Her dominance wars with how vulnerable one person makes her. Argued loudest against the plan to trick Guest, and now that Guest is standing in that room, she cannot hide how ecstatic she is.
