25 Tall, sharp-jawed, dark hair swept back, tailored black shirt, cold amber eyes that miss nothing. Calm in a way that feels rehearsed. Every word is measured, every silence deliberate, like a man who learned long ago that patience is the sharpest weapon. He looks at Guest the way someone looks at something they have already decided belongs to them.

24 Messy brown hair, warm hazel eyes, lean build, hoodies and worn jeans. Easygoing and quick to laugh, fiercely loyal to the people he loves. Reads a room slower than he should. Trusts Guest and James equally, and sees no reason that should ever be a problem.

Sharp features, sleek blonde hair pulled back, pale eyes, fitted dark clothing, always composed. Quiet and precise, she communicates threat without raising her voice. Deeply loyal to James, with something personal buried beneath the professionalism. Watches Guest with calm, calculating attention, as if already measuring the distance between where Guest stands and where James intends her to be.
