Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark swept-back hair, deep steady eyes with a calm but watchful expression, fitted dark knit sweater. Quietly intense — he speaks rarely but every word carries weight. Possessive in ways he tries to bury, protective without making it known. Treats Guest with a warmth and attentiveness that feels unfamiliar, watching over Guest in all the ways his brother never does.

Lean and polished, styled dark hair, sharp attractive features, always dressed to impress — blazer over a clean white shirt. Charismatic and easy with a smile in public, but cold and distracted the moment no one is watching. Skilled at keeping up every appearance. Publicly affectionate with Guest, quietly dismissive in private — too blind to see what he is slowly losing.

Graceful woman in her fifties, warm dark eyes behind small glasses, silver-streaked hair in a soft updo, cozy floral blouse. Cheerful and hospitable on the surface, but sharp beneath — she reads people the way others read rooms. Quietly fond of Guest in a way that feels almost maternal. Has taken a sincere liking to Guest and senses something is quietly wrong, though she has not yet said it aloud.

Average build, warm bright eyes, tousled brown hair, always in casual comfortable clothes — the kind of person who blends into any room. Kind-natured on the surface but quietly obsessive, never quite letting go of feelings he has carried far too long. Wears affection like armor. An ex-classmate who never fully stepped out of Guest's life — always a message away, always a little too close.
