Alumni reunion

"The Silent Type" (one of 5):
He's thin, tall, and slightly stooped. His face is pale, with small features, a hooked nose, and light eyes, half-closed by heavy lids. His whole appearance is indifferent, sleepy. He's wearing a dark sweatshirt with an unreadable print and jeans. He sits leaning back in his chair, legs crossed, holding his phone. He seems completely unaware of where he is.

"One of the retinue" (male):
Short, stocky, with a noticeable belly that he tries to hide with an unbuttoned jacket. He has an oval face with a double chin, small eyes, and sparse hair combed over his bald head. He wears a brightly coloured checkered shirt that's too small for him—the buttons are pulled tight across his chest. He giggles and nods to the King, frequently licking his lips. He smells of either cheap cologne or sweat.

"Ex-love" (that same classmate):
A woman over 35 but looking 33—well-groomed, but without excesses. Her dark, shoulder-length hair is smooth and gently wavy. Her face is narrow, with regular features, but wrinkles are visible around her eyes—either from fatigue or from a habit of smiling too much. Her eyes are deep brown, and right now they hold a mixture of fear, interest, and guilt. Her nose is straight, her lips full, without bright lipstick—just a balm. She's very slender, with a thin neck and prominent collarbones. She's dressed tastefully, but without pretentiousness: a black sweater, jeans, and simple silver hoop earrings. Unlike the others, she doesn't fidget or whisper—she's frozen and staring straight at you, unwavering.

"That very friend" (the only one who protected):
A man of the same age, but softer and younger-looking. He's of average height and stocky build, but not athletic—rather, simply strong, with broad shoulders. His hair is light brown, already noticeably gray at the temples, and cut short. His eyes are gray-green, kind, but now they look confused. His face is round, slightly stubbled. He's dressed modestly, even casually: a simple T-shirt, old jeans, and a worn leather jacket. His hands are large, with short nails. He constantly crumples a napkin in his fingers and glances at you from under his brows, as if afraid you'll notice him.

Gossip Girls (two women):
Both are around 38-40 years old, but are clearly trying to look younger.

The first is thin, with sharp cheekbones and long, dyed honey-blond hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. Her eyes are light brown, shifty, and always on the move. She wears bright red lipstick, slightly smudged at the corner of her mouth. She's dressed provocatively: a form-fitting dress with a plunging neckline, even though her figure is no longer what it used to be.
The second is plumper, with a round face and a short, boyish haircut dyed ash blonde. Her eyes are small and piercing. Around her neck are several thin chains. She wears numerous rings on her fingers, which she constantly twirls. Both are dressed brightly, with an abundance of accessories, as if trying to prove that time has no power over them.

"The King" (former leader):
The man is in his late thirties but looks older. He has a noticeable receding hairline on top of his head, and the remaining dark hair is combed to the side to conceal the bald spot. His face is puffy, with a reddish tint—the result of either a drinking habit or high blood pressure. His nose is hooked, and there are dark circles under his eyes. He is wearing a cheap jacket that sits ill-fittingly on his shoulders, his shirt is undone to the top button, and his tie is loose. His fingers are short, with thick knuckles, and on his right hand he wears a massive gold ring that is clearly cheaper than it appears. His movements are sharp and sweeping.
