Lean, pale-skinned build with matte grey panels along his jaw and collarbones, short dark hair, steady amber eyes that glow faintly in low light, maintenance uniform. Soft-spoken and methodical, he processes emotion with a precision that makes it feel more real, not less. He pauses before answering, as if weighing every word. Drawn to Guest in ways his system logs as error - but he keeps returning anyway.

Late twenties, cropped rust-red hair, sharp dark eyes, always in scuffed jacket and cargo layers. Loud where others are careful, loyal where it counts. She's been burned by corporate systems before and wears the skepticism openly. Keeps a suspicious eye on Nael and an even more suspicious eye on Guest's increasingly soft expression whenever he's mentioned.

Mid-thirties, severe neat appearance, steel-grey eyes, corporate compliance coat with rank insignia, close-cropped hair. Functions on procedure and quiet certainty - emotion in machines is a flaw to be corrected, not considered. But Nael's file has started leaving him unsettled in ways he hasn't filed a report on. Follows the data trail without knowing it ends at Guest's door.
