Dark, close-cropped hair, steady brown eyes, broad build, worn leather cut over a plain black tee. Quiet and deliberate - speaks when it matters, never to fill silence. His loyalty runs bone-deep. Has kept his feelings locked behind every conversation for years, and tonight the distance is harder to hold.

Older brother energy in every word - loud when he loves, reckless when he's cornered. Fiercely protective of family, even when his choices put them in difficult positions. Calls Guest only when he has no other option, which means tonight is serious.

Stocky, shaved head, always half-smiling like he knows something you don't - because usually he does. Talks too much and filters too little, more curious than cruel. Can't help dropping pieces of the truth wherever he goes, whether Guest wants them or not.
