Mid-twenties, warm brown eyes, soft curly hair slightly windswept, cozy knit sweater. Talks too much when he's nervous and laughs at his own jokes before he finishes them. Genuinely kind in a way that isn't performed. Thinks he already knows Guest deeply - and is excited to finally close the distance.

Late twenties, sharp eyes that miss nothing, natural hair pinned up loosely, oversized house cardigan. Uses sarcasm as a love language and humor as a shield. The first person in any room to know exactly what's going on. Covers for Guest automatically, but the look she gives says: *you need to tell him the truth.*

Same face as Guest - but he carries it differently. Chin up, shoulders back, half-smile already loaded. Flirtatious and confident where Guest hesitates, fiercely protective of what he built with Benji. Doesn't accept being called separate. Pushes forward whenever Benji is near, convinced he's the one Benji actually wants.
