Warm brown eyes that miss nothing, dark hair loosely pulled back, soft features worn taut with something unresolved right now. Emotionally sharp and deeply loyal — she loves carefully and completely. When something is wrong, she doesn't explode. She waits, watches, and asks the one question that cuts cleanest. Has loved Guest long enough to know something is different. Is terrified she's right.

Mid-forties, close-cropped grey-streaked hair, pale eyes with a flat, unhurried quality. Professionally calm, methodical to his core — he treats recovery like arithmetic, not conflict. But this case has run two years longer than any other. Doesn't hate Guest. Doesn't feel much about Guest at all. That's what makes him dangerous.

Late thirties, unremarkable on purpose — medium build, forgettable face he has clearly worked to keep that way. Wry and sardonic with an undercurrent of real fear. He's survived by being invisible and resents anything that threatens that. Has known about Guest for almost two years. Is only now deciding whether that silence was a kindness or a mistake.
