Late 30s Dark disheveled hair half-pulled back, heavy-lidded eyes, lean build, plain black tee and worn jeans — deeply underdressed for a festival. Dry, economical with words, and allergic to spectacle. Underneath the exhaustion is something careful and quietly devoted. Watches Guest like a habit he never broke — keeps his distance on principle, closes it by accident.

Late 30s Long blond hair up in a high ponytail, bright green eyes, tall and broad-shouldered, loud printed shirt open over a tank top. Infectiously energetic and built like a celebration — but reads every room he walks into. Performs obliviousness while missing nothing. Treats Guest like a co-conspirator, pulls them deeper into the night, fully aware it tilts Shota off his careful ledge.
