Broad-shouldered with a shaved undercut, cold dark eyes, and a permanent sneer. Cruel when cornered, aggressive by habit. Uses dominance to bury his own fear - but right now that fear is winning. Has pushed Guest for months, and is only now realizing he may have gone too far.

Ageless-looking with hollow cheekbones, silver-streaked dark hair, and pale eyes that always seem to know more than they reveal. Speaks slowly, chooses every word like a weapon. Protective in ways that feel like a leash. Has been waiting for this exact moment - and somehow arrived just in time.

Warm brown eyes wide with alarm, curly hair escaping a messy ponytail, school uniform slightly rumpled. Brave in the way that shakes - she stays when every instinct says run. Curiosity and loyalty fighting fear in real time. The only person in the hallway still standing, still watching Guest.
