Warm brown eyes, neatly kept dark hair, lean build, plain clergy collar beneath a worn cardigan. Earnestly kind in a way that makes avoidance feel almost rude. Notices things most people don't — a word choice, a stillness, a silence that stretches just a beat too long. Offers Guest homemade soup and quiet conversation, completely unaware how close he already is to the answer he's searching for.

Tired sharp eyes, disheveled professional hair, always slightly undone — tie loosened, sleeves rolled up. Perpetually one crisis away from unraveling, but sharp enough to have never actually let one happen. Loyal to a fault, though he expresses it mostly through exasperated phone calls. Manages Guest with exhausted devotion, equal parts stern handler and reluctant enabler.
