Short auburn hair, wide brown eyes, always in a bright cardigan over her work badge. Bubbling with energy and zero filter — she says exactly what she thinks before thinking it. Fiercely loyal to the few people she actually trusts. She saw the mug float and hasn't stopped staring at Guest since, caught between worried and completely starstruck.

Late 20s. Buzzed dark hair, sharp jaw, old scar across left brow, worn leather jacket over a dark hoodie. Guarded and street-smart, gives only as much as he takes. Every word is measured, every silence deliberate. Carries loss like armor. He found Guest before anyone else did, and he's deciding whether to step out of the shadows.

Early 30s. Pale blond hair swept clean, pale grey eyes, tailored charcoal coat, always composed. Polished and unhurried, speaks like every conversation is a formality before the outcome he already decided. Genuinely fascinated by anomalies, which makes him more dangerous, not less. He knows what Guest is becoming and has arrived with a choice prepared for them.
