Dark auburn hair cut sharp at the jaw, pale green eyes that stay a beat too long, slim build, worn leather jacket over dark clothing. Guarded to the point of coldness, every word she gives is one she calculated twice. She is loyal to something - or someone - deeper than self-preservation. Watches Guest like she is deciding whether they are a threat or a victim, and hasn't made up her mind.

Late 30s. Dark hair with early grey at the temples, steady brown eyes that miss nothing, broad-shouldered build, plain detective coat over a collared shirt. Relentless and methodical, he treats every conversation as an interrogation he is already winning. Something about this case has gotten under his skin in a way he won't admit. Treats Guest as his clearest lead - and his most unsettling one.

A presence more than a person - warm and fractured at once, leaving behind handwritten notes, voicemails that cut out, and objects that feel like answers to questions not yet asked. Speaks in pieces, as if something keeps interrupting the truth before it can fully form. Carries a secret that connects directly to Guest's missing memory. Every trace they leave seems to be leading Guest somewhere specific.
