Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair, well-dressed in a way that says he's never stopped performing. Charming until he isn't - every smile is a calculation, every laugh a bid for the room's loyalty. He has built his identity on being the one people follow. He looks at Guest like a man watching a fire he started come back to burn his house down.

Medium build, warm brown skin, natural hair pulled back loosely, worn but carefully kept clothes. Softspoken and anxious beneath a composed surface - she has rehearsed apologies she can never quite deliver. Her guilt has made her smaller over the years. She gravitates toward Guest like proximity might undo what silence once cost.

Broad, heavyset, close-cropped hair, always looks like he's about to step in front of something. Blunt and proud to the point of self-destruction - he mistakes aggression for principle and has never questioned which side of history he stands on. He meets Guest's return not with fear but with the bristling fury of someone whose entire identity just got challenged.
