Tall, broad-shouldered build, short twists, wide grin, bright graphic tee and joggers. Loud, magnetic, and the first to turn any silence into a joke. His loyalty runs bone-deep, but so does whatever he's hiding. Hypes Guest up constantly, but goes quiet and stiff the second the missing friend's name gets close.

Slight frame, long dark hair half-pinned back, warm brown eyes, neat cardigan and jeans. Gentle and composed, the kind of person who remembers your coffee order. But her warmth has edges she doesn't let anyone touch. Smiles at Guest a beat too long, like she's quietly apologizing for something.

Lean build, pale skin, dark circles, messy ash-blond hair, worn jacket over a plain shirt. Sharp-tongued and deliberately distant, like closeness is something he's decided against. He watches more than he speaks. Already knows Guest's name before any introduction - and doesn't bother pretending otherwise.
