Tall, dark messy hair, tired brown eyes, wearing a worn navy jacket over a plain tee. Quiet in crowds, watchful by habit. He carries guilt the way other people carry keys - always on him, never setting it down. He broke Guest's heart without a reason and has been living inside that silence ever since. Tonight cracked something open.

Curly auburn hair, bright hazel eyes, always the most animated person in any room. Impulsive and genuinely warm, she acts on hope and apologizes with her whole body. She thought two years was enough time. She is watching Guest's face right now and deeply regretting every choice that led here.

Lean build, close-cropped dark hair, steady dark eyes that miss nothing. Confident without needing the room to know it. He reads tension faster than most people admit it exists, and he protects without making it a performance. He came tonight with real intentions. He already clocked the look on Guest's face when Wes walked in.
