Late 20s Dark swept-back hair, sharp jaw, deep-set brown eyes, always dressed like he has somewhere important to be. Guarded by habit, honest only in unguarded moments. Calculated until emotions crack through the surface. Was assigned to Guest as a con - but the line between performance and love dissolved long ago, and now he's paying for it.

Late 50s Silver-streaked dark hair, immaculate grey suit, steel-grey eyes that never blink at the wrong moment. Precise and unhurried - a man who built power by outlasting everyone else's patience. His silence is a weapon. Watches Guest across the table with quiet devastation, still deciding if love makes betrayal forgivable.

Mid 20s Sharp dark eyes, dark hair cut bluntly at the jaw, quick gestures, always looks like she knows something you don't. Sarcastic as armor, loyal as a knife - she protects Leo the way only a guilty person protects someone they've wronged. Reaches out to Guest in secret, carrying information that could burn both families - and a guilt she can't put down.
