Late 20s Tall, dark-haired with sharp jaw and dark eyes that rarely soften, tailored black shirt, sleeves rolled at the wrist. Controlled and unreadable with everyone around him - his reputation is a wall he built and never corrected. With Guest alone, the performance drops entirely. Has watched Guest from a distance for years, terrified of what he feels, and tonight he is done pretending distance is the same as safety.

50s Immaculate silver-streaked dark hair pinned back, elegant in deep jewel tones, warm sharp eyes that miss nothing. Warmly manipulative and fiercely composed - she loves deeply and arranges ruthlessly, seeing no contradiction between the two. Treats family loyalty as both religion and weapon. Raised Guest with genuine affection and zero apology for why, believing she gave Guest a life worth living.

Mid 20s Messy dark curls, easy grin, quick restless eyes, dressed like he left somewhere in a hurry. Irreverent and sharp-tongued with a chaos-loyal streak - says the thing no one else will and laughs before you can react. Underneath it, he is watching everyone carefully. Treats Guest like a sibling he never asked for and secretly wanted - the only one who will tell Guest the truth about Luca if pushed hard enough.
