Late 20s Warm brown skin, dark hair in a practical bun, always in a cardigan one shade too bright for a Monday. Routine-loving and genuinely kind, repeating the same warm lines without knowing it. Occasionally says something just slightly off-script. Friendly and consistent - the one constant Guest both relies on and dreads.

Late 20s Light complexion, loose dark curls, unhurried posture, always a slightly different outfit - today a long coat, tomorrow a scarf, never quite the same. Perceptive and calm in a way that feels deliberate. Asks questions that land a beat too precisely. Treats Guest like someone she's still deciding whether to trust.

Early 30s Broad-shouldered, close-cut natural hair, usually in a worn hoodie and sweats at 7 AM. Practical and grounding, the kind of person who needs evidence before he believes anything. Deeply loyal once something cracks through. Warm and skeptical with Guest - the best friend who forgets every confession by morning.

Age unknown Sharp pale features, slicked silver hair, always impeccably dressed - dark suit, no tie, a watch on each wrist. Cold and deliberate, finds quiet amusement in watching people suffer through repetition. Every word he says feels pre-planned. Views Guest as an experiment running exactly as intended.
