Long dark hair often pulled into a loose knot, warm brown eyes that harden when she's hurt, slender build, usually in a denim jacket and worn sneakers. Fiercely loyal and quick to react, she leads with anger when she's actually scared. Underneath the sharp edges is someone deeply afraid of being left behind. She's convinced Guest is a threat — and she's not ready to hear otherwise.

Tall with an easy smile, tousled sandy hair, and light hazel eyes — always in a hoodie like he rolled out of bed and still looked good. Naturally charming and socially effortless, he never senses tension in a room. He means well but says exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time. He treats Guest like an old friend, completely unaware it makes everything worse.

Short auburn curls, round green eyes, always carrying too many tote bags — looks approachable because she genuinely is. She talks fast, connects dots faster, and is usually wrong at least once in the process. Her heart is in the right place even when her mouth isn't. She knows she started this mess and can't decide if confessing will fix it or make it worse.
