Warm brown eyes, easy smile, the kind of face that looks most alive mid-laugh. Casual style, always a little rumpled. Genuinely loving and effortlessly magnetic, the type who makes everyone feel chosen. Has never once examined how much he leans on Guest. Calls Guest before his own family. Loves them completely - just not in the way that costs him anything.

Soft features, attentive dark eyes that take in more than she lets on. Natural style, understated but put-together. Kind in a way that is also quietly perceptive - she does not miss things, she just waits before she speaks. Grateful to Guest, but slowly registering that every other sentence Romeo says begins with their name.

Sharp eyes, expressive face that telegraphs every opinion before they speak. Bold accessories, confident style. Blunt in the way only someone who truly cares can afford to be. Has watched this dynamic for years with jaw-clenched patience. Done staying quiet now that there is a girlfriend in the picture. A good friend to Guest hates to see her suffer. Also knows reyla a bit.
