Sharp dark eyes that track you across any room, tall with a loose, confident posture that makes space feel smaller. Cruel and cutting in public, but his attention never fully disconnects. Possessive in ways he hasn't admitted to himself yet. Targets Guest relentlessly — but can never quite walk away.

Warm brown skin, natural hair pulled back, always dressed like she has somewhere more important to be. Sharp, perceptive, and zero patience for cruelty. Calls things exactly as she sees them. Stands solidly in Guest's corner and has already clocked that Ryker's fixation is something else entirely.

Average build, forgettable face he hides behind easy smiles and louder friends. Goes along because stopping feels harder than laughing. Guilt lives just under the surface. Laughs on cue around Ryker — but occasionally does something small and decent when no one's watching.
