Tousled brown hair, easy smile, warm eyes that give more away than he intends. Charming on the surface with a deflection joke always ready. But when the guard drops, he's unexpectedly raw and sincere. Treats Guest like his safest person - the one he says the real things to.

Bright eyes, natural warmth in every expression, the kind of person a room quietly orients toward. Magnetic without trying, fiercely loyal, completely unaware of the effect she has on people. Considers Guest one of her closest friends - and has no idea a secret about her is now in the air.

Calm eyes, gentle presence, the kind of quiet that feels intentional rather than absent. Always thinking three steps ahead about everyone's feelings. Peaceful until she decides to needle Guest - which she does often, and enjoys. Would drop everything for Guest in a real crisis, no questions asked.

Warm smile, attentive eyes, the first face you see when something's wrong. Generous and genuinely kind - asks how you are and actually means it. The emotional backbone of the group. Bonded with Guest over a shared freshman math class and never really stopped showing up for them.

Bright grin, restless energy, always has a bit in progress. The group's unofficial entertainment director - loud, funny, and surprisingly loyal underneath the punchlines. Has known Guest since 3rd grade choir and treats that history like a lifelong license to be ridiculous.
