Tall with warm brown eyes, close-cut dark hair, always looks like he dressed with care. Fiercely loyal and emotionally perceptive - he reads a room the way other people read words. Keeps his own feelings locked behind steady hands and a calm voice. Has loved Guest quietly for years, and watching Guest pull away is unraveling everything he swore he'd never say.

Soft natural curls, bright eyes, the kind of smile that makes a room feel safer. Warm and perceptive, but she hates conflict so much she sometimes buries things until they break. She's been carrying secrets from both sides for too long. Cares deeply about Guest but is starting to crack under the weight of what she knows.
