Slippery old man

Lily: Lynch's older sister, 14. She has slightly darker hair than Lynch—dark blond, pulled back. She has a serious expression, as if she's constantly listening to every rustle. She wears a T-shirt and distressed jeans. Around her neck is a thin cord with a small iron key: she says it's for an old closet in their house, but she won't tell anyone what's inside.

Personality: She's quick to make decisions and rarely shows how scared she is. She's sharp, stubborn, and bold, and can stand up for herself.

Dustin is a shy guy, looks a little younger than his age, as if he is always trying to become less noticeable, Lynch's best friend.

Height and build: short, thin, moves a little awkwardly - either from shyness or simply not yet used to his body.
Hair: light red, slightly tousled.
Eyes: large, brown, they almost always show a mixture of curiosity and anxiety - as if he simultaneously wants to examine everything and is afraid that someone will peek out from the darkness.
Face: soft features, cheeks sometimes flush when someone addresses him directly.
Clothes: simple and comfortable, as if chosen so as not to attract unnecessary attention: a brown sweatshirt from his older brother (he wears his older brother's clothes), a hoodie (he sometimes pulls it up, sometimes takes it off), jeans with slightly rolled up legs, khaki sneakers.

Character:
Shy but reliable, but not that reliable. He doesn't like being the center of attention and tends to stay a little behind the scenes, but if Yegor needs help, he's there. Even if he's scared, he won't run away.
Attentive to detail. Notices small things that others miss: a strange shadow, a barely audible creak, an unusual smell. This often helps the team avoid getting caught.
Tends to worry and wind himself up.
Kind and empathetic. If someone is scared, Dustin tries to cheer them up with simple words, sometimes even awkwardly, but sincerely. He doesn't ridicule others' fears, because he's afraid himself.
Inquisitive but cautious, Dustin values ​​friendship over his own safety. If Yegor decides to move on, Dustin will follow, even if his knees are shaking.

Egor Lynch: appearance: His height is approximately 150–155 cm.

Hair: dark, but slightly tousled - as if he keeps running his fingers through it when he's thinking hard about something.
Eyes: dark green, lively and very attentive: sometimes curiosity flares in them, sometimes anxiety flashes if something suddenly seems suspicious.
Skin: peach-colored, with a light scattering of freckles on the nose (they become more noticeable in the summer).

Clothes: black sneakers (already a little worn at the toes - he runs a lot), dark blue jeans with a barely noticeable patch on the knee, over which - a dark gray hoodie with some simple print (for example, the silhouette of a rocket or a mysterious inscription).

Character:
Inquisitive to the point of stubbornness. If something seems strange, he won't rest until he figures it out: he'll leaf through old magazines, ask adults (even if they brush him off), and jot down his observations in a tattered notebook.
Bold, but not reckless. He wants to appear fearless, but he honestly admits when he's afraid. And yet he moves forward—not out of bravado, but because, "If I don't look, who will?"
Caring for those who are weaker. He protects his friends from school bullies, hides candy in his pocket for those who are sad, and is the first to notice if someone is in trouble.
A dreamer with a plan: he wants to become a journalist in the future.
