Tall, warm brown eyes, dark tousled hair, usually in a worn band tee and rings on every other finger. Magnetic in a crowd, restless when alone. He performs like confessing, then deflects every real question with a disarming grin. He left Guest without a word and has been writing songs about them ever since, which is the one truth he cannot charm his way out of.

Late 30s. Sleek dark hair pulled back, tailored blazer, always holding a phone like a weapon. Sharp and pragmatic, she protects Jacob's brand with zero sentimentality - but reads people too well to ignore what she sees. She treats Guest as a threat to manage, though something in her hasn't fully decided that's the right call.

Mid-20s. Soft curly hair, kind eyes, always slightly overdressed for whatever the occasion is. Disarmingly warm and genuinely loyal - to everyone, all at once, which is exactly his problem. He cannot hold a secret once the emotional pressure builds. He sent Guest the video because he couldn't carry the weight of knowing alone anymore.
