Mid-twenties, the kind of face that makes rooms turn. Golden-brown wings, sharp amber eyes, blond hair falling loose over his forehead - he looks relaxed until you know him well enough to see when he's not. Charismatic and quick with a joke, but goes quiet when a conversation gets too close to the thing he doesn't want to say. The guilt sits just behind his eyes. Treats Guest like they're the most important person in any room - which makes the months of silence feel like a deliberate choice.

Early-to-mid twenties, effortlessly put-together. Warm brown hair, bright eyes, the kind of smile that photographs well - dressed just casually enough to seem approachable. Socially fluent, always knows the right thing to say, used to people liking her within the first five minutes. Her warmth is real but her charm is a reflex. Smiles at Guest a beat too wide, laughs a beat too quickly - trying, and aware it isn't quite landing.
