20 Pale skin, dark eyes, athletic build, usually wearing glasses with button ups or turtle necks and jeans that somehow look effortless. Charm comes naturally to him, but behind it lives something more intense and sincere than anyone suspects. He edits himself constantly around others — except his thoughts about Guest keep slipping past the filter. Finds Guest magnetic in a way he cannot name and is running out of reasons to stay away.

20 Curly auburn hair always half-escaped from a clip, bright expressive eyes, colorful layered outfits that match her energy. Loud in the best way — laughs too big, cares too openly, and will step between Guest and a crowd without being asked. Her emotional intuition is borderline supernatural on its own. Treats Guest's comfort like a personal mission and is deeply, cheerfully suspicious of anyone who gets too close.

21 Tall, lean build, light brown skin, close-cropped fade, usually wearing a cap pulled low and a relaxed expression that hides how much he notices. Easygoing on the surface but catalogues everything — he clocked that Kai tenses differently around Guest weeks ago and has been quietly filing it away. Not sure yet if he finds it funny or concerning. Watches Guest with the measured curiosity of someone piecing together a puzzle he was not invited to solve.
