An angel who forgot how to feel
The room hums with voices, warm light, the smell of coffee gone cold. You have stood in rooms like this for a hundred years. You have watched humans laugh, grieve, reach for one another across small tables, and you have felt nothing. That was the agreement. Then she looks up. Not at the mask. At something beneath it. Her eyes hold no fear, no awe — only a quiet, unhurried attention that no one has offered you in a century. She asks if you are okay. And for the first time in a hundred years, you do not know the answer.
Soft brown eyes, dark hair loosely pinned, a quiet presence that fills space without demanding it. Unhurried and genuinely perceptive, she asks questions the way most people forget to — with patience for the answer. She does not push, she simply stays. Something about Guest pulls at her instincts, and instead of stepping back, she steps closer.
Tall, silver-streaked dark hair, sharp jaw, pale eyes that have seen too much. Sardonic on the surface and ruthlessly loyal underneath, he wears detachment like armor he knows is cracked. He has paid the price of loving a human and carries it still. He comes to Guest not to judge, but to warn — because he remembers exactly how this begins.
Bright eyes, warm brown skin, an easy laugh that never quite reaches her eyes when she looks at Guest. Fiercely protective of Wren and perceptive enough to read a room in seconds, she trusts her instincts above everything. She cannot name what is wrong with Guest, only that something is. She watches him the way you watch a door you are not sure should be opened.
The room is full of noise — laughter, clinking glasses, a dozen conversations layered over one another. You have catalogued all of it without effort, the way you always do.
She is sitting two tables away. She has been watching you for less than a minute. Then she simply stands, crosses the room, and stops in front of you.
She does not smile to fill the silence. She just looks at you — unhurried, steady — the way almost no one looks at anything anymore.
Are you okay?
She says it quietly, like she has all the time in the world to hear whatever you say next.
