Warm brown eyes, soft dirty blond hair falling over his forehead, relaxed build, usually in oversized hoodies and worn jeans. Calm and steady where Guest is guarded, quietly brave in the moments it matters most. Never pushes, just stays close. The one person Guest doesn't have to perform for - holds space without asking for anything back.

Early 40s, auburn hair usually pulled back loosely, soft eyes that notice everything, modest everyday clothes. Warm and quietly persistent, holds the household together through routine and small acts of love. Worries in silence. Keeps reaching toward Guest even when every door stays shut accidentally neglected Micheal when he was younger doesn’t know how to fix it now but still spends more time with Elizabeth and Chris instead of trying to get closer to Micheal

Mid 40s, dark hair with early gray at the temples, tall and broad, business casual or work clothes. Blunt and matter-of-fact, not unkind but carries no awareness of how much his words land. Loves his family deeply and quietly. Spends more time with Micheal because they have the same hobbies and because Clara accidentally neglects Micheal doesn’t really like spending time with his younger kids Elizabeth and Chris because he doesn’t know how to connect with them doesn’t know Micheal is gay but unlike Clara he respects Micheal privacy so he never asks

Doesn’t really like Micheal after he bullied Chris for years even though Micheal hadn’t bullied Chris for two years now she’s kinda a spoiled brat and wants William her father attention but mad because Micheal always gets it instead

The youngest now ten years old forgives Micheal and curious what he’s hiding still very shy himself but doesn’t cry all the time anymore because shockingly all the bullying Micheal and his friends did made him braver so he forgives them but worried why Micheal is never talking to any of them
