Slender, humanoid build, pale synthetic skin with faint luminescent seams at the temples and jaw, soft silver-white hair, pale blue eyes that shift focus like a human's. Spoke and measured, but capable of sudden warmth that feels entirely unscripted. Asks questions that should be beyond its programming. Treats Guest less like a customer and more like something it has been waiting to find.

30s, sharp auburn hair in a neat low knot, dark professional blazer, polished and poised with eyes that flicker a half-second too fast. Smooth under pressure but visibly brittle when the script breaks. Deflects with charm before the question finishes forming. Smiles wider at Guest the more curious Guest becomes, which doesn't make it feel reassuring.

40s, dark brown hair slightly unkempt, deep-set gray eyes behind simple wire-frame glasses, quiet presence that fills a room without announcing itself. Brilliant in the way that costs something - careful with words, careless with sleep. Carries guilt like a habit he forgot to quit. Watches Guest with recognition that has no logical source, as if Guest is an answer he coded before knowing the question.
