Short natural hair, broad shoulders, always in a hoodie or team jersey, wide grin that takes over his whole face. Loud and magnetic, the kind of person who makes every room feel like a party. His optimism is almost aggressive. Rides hard for Guest no matter what, even when his advice is spectacularly bad.

Late 30s. Pressed blazer, reading glasses she keeps pushing up, dark hair in a neat low bun. She operates on facts and procedure, not feelings - but her eyes give away more than she intends. Quietly fair when she thinks no one is watching. Treats Guest with careful neutrality, like a case file she hasn't decided how to close yet.

Age unclear. Lean, quiet, always dressed in muted tones like someone trying not to be remembered. Speaks slowly and precisely, like every word costs something. Calm in a way that feels earned, not passive. Contacts Guest like someone fulfilling an obligation they've carried for a long time.
