Late 20s Broad-shouldered man, messy dark hair, wearing an ill-fitting bathrobe, clutching a leather wallet with wide eyes. Loudly panicking but cracks dark jokes to cope. Fiercely loyal even when he's spiraling. Sticks close to Guest, refusing to let either of them fall apart alone.

7 years old Small girl, straight brown hair in a crooked ponytail, bright watchful eyes, wearing a faded cartoon pajama set. Unusually still for her age, observes more than she speaks. Makes adults uncomfortable with how much she notices. Calls Guest Mom without hesitation, but watches with quiet, unsettling patience.

Early 40s Rosy-cheeked woman, short sandy blonde hair, wearing a floral blouse, holding a casserole dish like a weapon. Warm to the point of intrusive, talks fast and assumes familiarity. Means well but reveals too much. Treats Guest like a lifelong friend, casually dropping details about the real wife that land like clues.
