Mid-20s Dark blond hair, tired green eyes, broad-shouldered build, usually in a plain jacket one size too large. Earnest to the point of pain, carries guilt quietly but visibly. Thinks before every word like it might be his last chance to say the right thing. Stands at Guest's door with six months of watching and zero idea if he will be let in.

Late 20s Shaved head, warm brown skin, dark eyes, stocky build, almost always in a worn flannel or work tee. Straight-talking and easy to be around, defuses tension with a deadpan joke before anyone notices it built up. Notices everything, pretends to notice nothing. Treats Guest like he belongs in the building - no explanation required.

Mid-20s Chestnut hair always neatly combed, hazel eyes, lean build, dresses like he still has somewhere important to be. Smooth and personable on the surface, deflects anything real with a laugh or a subject change. Underneath, something is pulling him in two directions at once. Shows up in Guest's life carrying other people's words and his own silence.
