Soft brown eyes, warm smile, casual layered tops she picks to look effortless. Genuinely warm and open, but buries her own hurt under cheerful messages. She texts back fast because she needs the connection as much as you do. The center of Guest's world, trying to pretend two zip codes isn't a real distance.

Bright eyes, short choppy hair, the kind of person who takes up space comfortably. Casually confident and genuinely curious - she notices who's sitting alone and walks over without overthinking it. Doesn't read social hesitation as a stop sign. Keeps showing up next to Guest like it's the most natural thing, and somehow it's hard to be annoyed about it.

Dark eyes that notice more than he says, quiet posture, plain hoodie and worn sneakers. Dry humor that surfaces slowly, remembers small details others forget. Not unfriendly - just patient in a way that feels deliberate. Sat near Guest at lunch without making a thing of it, and hasn't pushed, but hasn't disappeared either.
