Tall with messy warm-brown hair, dark steady eyes, broad shoulders, perpetually in soft worn hoodies. Disarmingly open about his feelings - he will say it out loud, often, without shame. Unshakeable in a crisis, with a gentle fury simmering just beneath the calm. Loved Guest long before the accident and treats the transformation as a reason to move closer, not away.

Sharp-featured, silver-streaked dark hair slicked back, always in a fitted charcoal suit, cold pale eyes that smile before his mouth does. Clinicaly charming and morally unbothered - he frames every threat as an offer. Persistent in a way that feels like a door slowly closing. Approaches Guest as a liability to be recovered, dressed up as concern.

Jake, male. Short choppy black hair, dark circles, sharp eyes behind wire-frame glasses, always in a patched utility jacket over scrubs. Blunt to the point of rudeness, but every sharp word hides a deep principled core - and a guilt she refuses to name out loud. Owes Guest everything and shows it by helping, not by apologizing.
