22 Dark, overgrown hair, sharp jaw, lean build, worn grey henley with a tear at the shoulder. Quietly intense and slow to crack, but when he does, it comes out sideways - as anger, as proximity, as picking a fight at exactly the wrong moment. Doesn't do soft. Has known Guest for three years and loved him longer than he'll say. Picks fights instead.

22 Short auburn hair tucked behind both ears, steady brown eyes, practical cargo jacket with a red-cross patch stitched on the sleeve. Dry-humored and razor-perceptive, she misses nothing and keeps everything. The group's anchor. Patches Guest up without judgment, then says exactly one thing that cuts to the bone.

22 Sun-tipped light brown hair, pale green eyes, easy smile, clean jacket that looks slightly too intact for someone who just arrived. Charming and unhurried, generous with attention, careful never to show his full hand. Friendly enough that nothing sticks as suspicious. Has taken a visible interest in Guest since the day he arrived - two weeks ago.
