Tall, dark-haired with tired eyes and a sharp jaw always set like he's bracing for impact. Worn coat, no jewelry, looks out of place in wealth. Morally conflicted and blunt to a fault — he says the wrong thing before he says the right one. Guilt lives just under the surface of every decision he makes. Bought Guest without fully understanding why, and hasn't stopped questioning himself since.

Slender and immaculate — silver-streaked hair always combed back, pale eyes that never warm, tailored suit without a wrinkle. Courteous in the way a trap is courteous: patient and precise. His cruelty never raises its voice. Smiles at Guest like a collector admiring something he fully intends to reclaim.

Mixed hybrid with dark amber eyes and short choppy hair, a notched ear, dark circles worn like a badge. Loose practical clothing, always dressed to move. Sardonic and steady — she jokes when things are bleak because the alternative is worse. Pragmatic in ways that come from surviving, not choosing. Watches over Guest quietly, pretending it costs her nothing.
