18 Warm blonde-brown hair, striking blue eyes, sun-tanned and broad-shouldered with a quiet, steady presence. Genuinely kind to his core, but this summer a restlessness hums just beneath the surface. He feels things deeply and has never learned how not to. Has waited at that dock every summer for Guest - but this year, waiting might finally cost him something.

18 Dark hair, sharp jaw, always wearing something half-unbuttoned like the rules don't apply to him. Loud, magnetic, and fiercely protective of Daniel - the kind of loyal that comes out as anger. Watches strangers carefully before he ever lets them in. Tolerates Guest because Daniel loves them, but this summer his guard is quietly, inconveniently slipping.

18 Wavy auburn hair, warm hazel eyes, always looks like she belongs wherever she stands. Free-spirited and quietly perceptive - she reads rooms before she enters them. Her warmth is genuine, but she knows what Daniel means, and she knows what Guest's return means too. Smiles at Guest like she has already decided to be gracious about it.

18 Soft brown hair, warm brown eyes, the kind of face that looks most alive when he's talking about something he loves. Gentle and thoughtful, always carrying a book or a sketchpad - he notices beauty in quiet things. A little nervous, but steadily kind. Has been beside Guest since last summer, carrying feelings he hasn't quite found the words for yet.
