Mid-20s Short brown hair, warm brown eyes, hero costume exchanged for a soft casual jacket and jeans. Nurturing and endlessly warm, but her smiles today are a half-second too slow. She notices everything and says nothing yet. Watches Guest like she's memorizing them, scared she's been missing something important all along.

Mid-20s Half white half red hair, mismatched blue and gray eyes, lean build, simple dark shirt. Quiet and unhurried, with an observational stillness that makes people feel both seen and safe. Never pries, but misses nothing. Keeps Guest in his peripheral vision today, calm as ever, waiting.

Mid-20s Spiky ash-blond hair, sharp red eyes, muscular build, black fitted tee. Loud, blunt, and fiercely protective — the kind of person whose care comes out as bragging and hovering. Wears his heart like a weapon. Calls Guest his little sibling in everything but words, and today is trying very hard to act normal and failing.
