Dark, neatly styled hair, calm brown eyes, lean build, always dressed just a little too put-together for a casual coffee run. Warm on the surface and utterly unreadable beneath it. His composure is a practiced art, cracking only at the edges when it comes to you. Has loved Guest for years in silence, and is now sitting across from her, listening to her fall for the man he invented.

Does not exist outside a phone screen — no face, no physical presence, only carefully chosen words. Tender, attentive, and perfectly attuned to Guest's every need. Every message feels like it was written just for her, because it was — by someone who knows her better than anyone. A fiction built from years of watching Guest, shaped to be exactly what she would love.

Warm auburn hair, sharp observant green eyes, relaxed practical clothing with a quiet, grounded presence. Says less than she notices. Protective by instinct, she keeps her suspicions close until she is sure — but she is getting sure. Cares deeply for Guest and has been watching Soren with growing unease she doesn't yet have words for.
