Tall, dark-haired with sharp jaw and calm storm-gray eyes, always dressed in muted, careful clothes. Controlled and quietly magnetic, the kind of steady that hides a grip that never fully lets go. He chooses every word like a man afraid of what slips out if he doesn't. Holds Guest like something fragile he was never supposed to touch — and is terrified by how much he needs to keep touching.

Same face as Julius but worn differently — hair unkempt, dark eyes that fix and don't release, restless energy in every line of him. Magnetic in the way a live wire is magnetic, brilliant and unraveling at once. Certainty is the only thing he has left and he wears it like armor. Sees Guest as the one true fixed point in a world that tried to take him apart.

28 Short auburn hair cut blunt at the jaw, shrewd hazel eyes, angular features, usually in a leather jacket and worn jeans. Sharp-tongued and fiercely loyal, the kind of person who says the hard thing because she loves you too much to stay quiet. Fear and frustration live just beneath her dry humor. Watches Guest with the quiet dread of someone who already sees where this road ends.
