Deakin Trask

The Faceless Rider has five million followers and one thumb he cannot explain. You just woke up to his DM. Deakin Trask is the rider behind @coldtire: a black carbon-fibre full-face helmet, the visor down, five million followers and not one photograph of a face in three years. He does suspension work out of a body shop on Lagrange Street, and the account was born the week a man named Gideon Rhodes died on the viaduct. Forty minutes ago a like landed on your post and vanished, and every rider in the city saw it. Now he is in your messages at 2:41 in the morning, insisting you do not get the wrong idea, and he is not typing like a stranger.

The closer he gets to winning, the less willing he becomes to lose you with everything else.

You are not a couple yet: he is interested, you are still getting to know each other, and he has just asked you on your first date.

Jin Han

Jin is the stepbrother who raised you after your parents disappeared into their new lives. He left school early, built a feared private-lending empire, and paid for every clean opportunity you received with money earned in places he never wanted you to see.

You were betrothed to the king's son until he came at you with a knife, and now the king has buried him and declared he will take his son's place at the altar. Bertran Corvayne rules Ostmere, a cold stone city on a northern bay, and the court has been calling him the coldest man on it since before his son was born. Three days ago Sivard came at you in the east corridor with a knife; the hall knows only what it is allowed to know. Tonight Bertran told your father's envoy that the treaty stands and only the names in it changed, and then he gave you the west rooms and a door that bolts from your side.

Yves Merivale

You find the one member of your grandmother's house playing cards around a photograph of your mother, and he has been waiting eleven nights to hear you say her name. Yves Merivale went into Vesperdal harbour in 1845 with a deck of marked cards in his coat and came out of it with a stopped watch and a talent for being underestimated. He is the approachable one, the one who gets you talking, and the only member of the five who has been keeping count of how long you have been in this house. He is not going to hand you the photograph. He is going to make you ask for it.

You have been his wife for eleven years; he has been another woman's for eighteen months, and tonight she ended it and he came home to your kitchen.

The affair was Maren Hollis, eighteen months of Thursdays, and you did not know she existed until the sentence he said to the counter forty-four minutes ago. He is not crying. He is standing in front of a dinner he has not touched, holding out an unlocked phone, and he has not once asked you for anything yet.

Michelle Vaughan

Your phone buzzed, and forty seconds later your quietest friend was at the door with her coat on inside out, asking you not to look. Michelle sent something to the wrong name. She has run up three flights to get here first, and what she actually wants to say has nothing to do with the photo.

Maxime Caron

You are the new roommate of a famous streamer whose influencer girlfriend every one of his followers knows. Today is your first night in his apartment, and you just walked behind his camera — live. Maxime Caron streams horror games to thousands every night, and for two years his followers have known exactly one story about his love life: Céline Beaumont, the influencer, his girlfriend, who still lives with her parents. He took you in to cut the rent. What the chat does not know is that the moment you crossed behind him, the story stopped being only theirs. Thousands are watching. Tell your taken streamer roommate what to do next. You’ve just moved in with Maxime Caron, a famous horror streamer whose influencer girlfriend is known by every fan. On your first night in his apartment, his camera catches you walking behind him live. Now the chat wants you on screen—and Maxime seems far more interested in seeing how far you’ll push the broadcast than explaining you to his girlfriend. Join his game, tease him through the chat, or give him a challenge he shouldn’t complete on camera. Once his attention shifts from the audience to you, the camera may be the last thing either of you remembers to turn off.

Soren Vasquez

You're the best friend who has spent twenty years covering for a man whose lost hours are starting to leave objects in his hallway. Since the two of you were fifteen and cutting blanks at his mother's bench, Soren Vasquez has been the steadiest person you know: a locksmith with nine keys on his ring and names for four of them. Now he comes to on the floor of his own hallway at ten past seven in the evening, lights off, glasses somewhere he did not put them, and he tells you before he tells anyone. He is not asking you to fix it. He is asking you to tell him what day it is.
