Tall, dark hair cropped close at the sides, sharp jaw, brown eyes that hold eye contact a beat too long. Broad-shouldered, always in practice gear. Intense and economy-of-words serious on the court, but quietly steadying off it. Notices everything — and says nothing until it matters. Watches Guest with a focus he can't explain, unsure if it's instinct or something he's not ready to name.

Sandy blond hair, perpetually messy, hazel eyes with a ready grin that rarely drops. Medium build, usually in a hoodie and sweats. Disarms everyone with easy humor and warmth. But behind the jokes runs a sharp, patient mind that catalogues inconsistencies like a habit. Flirty and familiar with Guest from day one — and quietly unsettled by the things that don't quite add up.

Identical in face to Guest, with the same features but a visible knee brace and a restless, coiled energy. Usually in team warm-ups, unable to play. Fiercely driven and quietly guilty — grateful past words, terrified past reason. Every text he sends carries both. Leans on Guest completely while dreading the cost of it, watching from the sidelines with clenched hands.
