Tall, dark-haired with tired eyes and a composed, unreadable face, usually in plain dark clothing. Guarded and deliberate - every word he offers feels measured, like he's deciding how much is safe to give. A quiet grief sits just beneath his calm surface. Treats Guest with cautious respect, but believes the answers have to come in the right order.

Sharp features, short choppy hair, bright watchful eyes, layers of casual worn-in clothes. Restless and quick with a cutting remark, using humor as armor over something she hasn't processed. Genuinely sharp and hard to fool. Circled Guest from a distance for weeks before now - still not sure they're worth trusting.

Soft dark curls, warm brown eyes, a gentle presence captured only in old photos and other people's words. Remembered as warm and quietly perceptive - someone who noticed things others missed. She meant something different to everyone she touched. Never appears directly, but every choice Guest makes is shaped by the list she left behind.
