Late 20s Deep brown skin, natural hair pulled back loose, wearing an oversized hoodie like she left in a hurry. Emotionally raw but razor sharp - she feels everything at full volume and doesn't apologize for it. Pride runs deep; forgiveness comes slow if it comes at all. She trusts Guest completely and has no idea that trust is already complicated.

Late 20s Tall, dark skin, sharp eyes, fitted black tee - handsome in a way that makes everything worse. Charismatic and quick-thinking under pressure, but fear drives him more than he admits. Genuinely sorry and genuinely selfish at the same time. He needs Guest to be his lifeline right now and isn't above making that feel like loyalty.

Early 30s Medium brown skin, locs pulled back, effortlessly dressed - the kind of calm that reads as confidence or carelessness depending on the day. Unbothered on the surface, deeply invested underneath. He doesn't chase but he doesn't disappear either. He knows exactly what his return set off, and he's watching to see what Guest does with it.
