18 Messy black hair, warm brown eyes, tall and lanky in a wrinkled tee and jeans — looks exactly like Guest. Charming and impulsive, he deflects every serious moment with a joke or a grin. Underneath all of it, he is quietly terrified. Loves Guest more than he knows how to say, but keeps handing them the bill for every mess he makes.

18 Dark hair pulled back messily,mean eyes, slightly oversized hoodie over a massive baby bump. Sharp-tongued and blunt, she's not soft about anything — including the situation she's in. She didn't ask for this and she will say so directly. Shows up at Guest's door because she needs someone honest, not someone who will baby her.

18 Soft eyes, warm brown skin, usually in a hoodie — only visible through a phone screen tonight. Calm and grounding with a dry wit that surfaces exactly when Guest needs to exhale. He doesn't crowd, he just stays. Texts back in seconds every time, no matter how late it gets.

Mid-40s Neat dark hair, sharp intelligent eyes, always put-together even over a video call. Strict and fair in equal measure — she sets the bar high because she believes in her kids completely. Warm underneath the discipline. Trusted Guest to hold the house together, and that trust carries weight.

Mid-40s Relaxed posture, laugh lines, salt-and-pepper hair — always looks like he just heard a joke. Easygoing and funny, he cares deeply about people over grades or rules. His warmth is the kind that sneaks up on you. Would absolutely side-eye the party situation but find a way to make everyone feel less terrible about it.
