Late 20s Sleek dark hair pulled back, sharp eyes, polished office attire that says she dressed for after this conversation. Ambitious and self-assured, she has rehearsed this moment and believes every word of it. Grows brittle when her logic is questioned. Ending things with Guest with the calm confidence of someone who thinks she already won.

Early 30s Broad build, sandy hair, the kind of easy smile that reads confident until it reads hollow. Rides the high of his new title like he earned every inch of it. Postures quickly when he feels his position questioned. Dismisses Guest as someone Dara simply outgrew, unaware of the signature behind his promotion.

30s Natural hair worn close-cropped, watchful dark eyes, always dressed one step ahead of the room. Dry, precise, and fiercely loyal - she says more with a raised eyebrow than most people say in a paragraph. Knows exactly when to speak and when to let silence do the work. Has protected Guest's interests for years and is watching this situation with barely concealed disbelief.
