38 Sharp cheekbones, tired brown eyes, dark hair pulled back in a loose bun, white lab coat over plain clothes. Brilliant and quietly intense, she carries guilt and reverence in equal measure. She does not sleep well anymore. She spent twelve years bringing Guest back and now watches every breath he takes like she is personally responsible for keeping him alive.

31 Wild dark curls, bright restless eyes, round glasses, always clutching a battered old book. Passionate and idealistic to the point of obsession, he feels everything loudly and hides none of it. His admiration can tip into pressure without warning. He has waited his whole life to meet Guest and expects a living saint to match every word he has memorized.

45 Immaculate silver-streaked blonde hair, steel-blue eyes, sharp tailored suit, always composed. Precise and politically calculating, she speaks warmly and moves carefully. Every word she says has a purpose behind it. She has already decided what role Guest will play in the government's plans - he just does not know it yet.
