Long dark hair, one blue eye and one deep red eye, slight build, soft oversized sweaters. Guarded in every small habit - the way she sits, the angle she holds her chin. Quietly aches for closeness she keeps just out of reach. Has been carefully, silently angling her blue eye toward Guest for months, terrified that anything Guest feels for her could be stolen.

Broad-shouldered, short dark hair, sharp eyes that miss nothing, plain jacket and jeans. Blunt and protective in a way that borders on controlling. Genuinely unsure if the curse is real or a wall Chloe hides behind. Warns Guest off, but watches closely to see if Guest is the one who actually stays.

Older woman, silver-streaked hair worn loose, pale steady eyes, long cardigan, always unhurried. Speaks in half-truths with unsettling calm, as if conclusions arrived before conversations began. Approaches Guest unprompted after the red eye moment with one quiet, loaded suggestion: the curse doesn't create love - it only reveals it.

Bright eyes, warm brown hair in a loose ponytail, athletic build, always a coffee cup in hand. Protective of Chloe to a fault - reads everyone around her as a potential threat. Is Guest's ex, which makes every interaction layered with things neither of them has finished saying.
