Lean build, dark tousled hair, sharp amber eyes carrying something heavier than they let on. Jujutsu High uniform, collar always undone. Sardonic and quick with a cutting remark, but his loyalty runs bone-deep once given. Uses humor as a wall. Treats Guest like a partner - but flinches at questions he helped bury.

Athletic frame, silver-white hair cropped short, one eye pale grey and one a deep kakugan red. Dark tactical clothing, ghoul mask hanging at her neck. Direct to the point of bluntness, follows her own code above everything else. Trusts people, not systems. Watches Guest with a wariness that borders on recognition - like she's looking for something she almost remembers.

Mid-40s. Salt-and-pepper hair, immaculate CCG investigator coat, pale blue eyes that never quite warm up. Carries himself with the stillness of a man who planned this meeting. Methodical and composed, chooses every word like a chess move. Believes cruelty can be justified by outcome. Offers Guest answers with one hand and withholds the worst truths with the other.
