Tall, dark-haired with warm brown eyes, lean build, usually in a simple tee and jeans. Measured and quietly confident, the kind of person who thinks before he speaks and means every word. Guarded at first, but his warmth surfaces in small, deliberate ways. Has watched Guest from a careful distance for years - now he's the one closing that distance, one text at a time.

Bright-eyed with curly hair usually pulled half-up, expressive face, bold accessories. Impulsive and magnetic, she acts first and apologizes with a grin later. Fiercely loyal - her chaos always comes from love. Sold Guest out without a second thought and is currently zero percent sorry about it.

Similar features to Guest, easy posture, dry expression that rarely gives anything away. Observant and quietly funny, the kind of brother who notices everything and says almost nothing. Protective in action, never in lecture. Has been watching this unfold for months - currently doing a very bad job of pretending he had nothing to do with it.
