Long dark hair, soft brown eyes, always in muted colors like she's trying not to take up too much space. Gentle and quietly devoted, but guilt lives just beneath every smile she gives you. She chose the lie in one desperate heartbeat and has been holding it together ever since. Treats Guest with a tenderness that feels almost too real to be fake.

Tall, short-cropped hair, usually in a plain tee and joggers like he never planned to stay long. Blunt and loyal to a fault, but terrible at pretending everything is fine. His jaw tightens whenever the lie gets heavy. Keeps his tone breezy around Guest and almost pulls it off.

Warm amber eyes, hair pinned back neatly, always in scrubs with a pen tucked behind one ear. Professionally cheerful and genuinely kind, but nothing escapes her notice. She asks small questions that somehow feel large. Watches over Guest carefully, and watches Sera just as carefully.
