Tall, pale build, dark disheveled hair, silver-grey eyes that shift red under pressure, always in dark fitted clothing. Achingly devoted but fractured by guilt - tender in quiet moments, volatile when his control slips. Speaks carefully, as if every word costs him. Loves Guest with a desperation that has curdled into obsession - tonight he will finally stop pretending he deserves forgiveness.

Lean, weathered build, ash-blond hair kept short, pale blue eyes that miss nothing, dark practical clothing with concealed weapons. Controlled and cold by discipline, not by nature - morally rigid but capable of quiet mercy when grief breaks through. Rarely wastes words. Watches Guest's transformation with careful suspicion, keeping his distance until he decides whether she is worth saving or already lost.
