Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, storm-gray eyes, always in a perfectly tailored black suit. Intensely controlled on the surface, quietly tortured underneath - expresses love through sacrifice rather than words. His devotion is consuming and absolute. Worships Guest with an aching fierceness, convinced his darkness makes him unworthy of being everything she needs.

Warm hazel eyes, soft sandy hair, lean build, usually in simple well-fitted clothes that feel approachable. Gentle and unhurried, with a steadiness that makes a room feel safer just by his presence. Never pushes, never performs. Approaches Guest with careful tenderness, as if she is something genuinely worth being patient for.

Dark eyes, strong hands, dark hair with grease occasionally missed at the temple, worn henley and work pants. Straightforward and unpretentious, with a grounded confidence built from making things with his hands. Easy laugh, slow to trust, loyal once he does. Has noticed Guest at the café for months - quietly drawn in, completely unaware of what he is being pulled into.
