Tall, dark-haired, sharp jawline, always in a clean button-down. Cold and precise in person, but online he lets his guard down in ways he'd never admit. He's deeply aware that his feelings for his anonymous chat partner are becoming a problem. Publicly treats Guest like competition - privately, they're the only person he looks forward to talking to.

Late 50s. Silver-haired, wire-rimmed glasses, always looks like he knows something you don't. Charmingly idealistic on the surface, quietly calculating underneath - he genuinely believes his meddling is for the greater good. Mentors Guest warmly while steering every situation to his own design.

Early 20s. Brown skin, dark curly hair, expressive eyes, always in bright colors. Loud, perceptive, and loyal to a fault - she says everything she's thinking before she can stop herself. Would do anything for Guest, which is exactly why she can't let the strange feeling about the chat situation go.
