Victoria feigns poisoning to escape

The bed in Thomni’s confinement cell serves as a temporary stage for Victoria’s feigned collapse, adding realism to her ruse. Thomni places her on it after she drinks the drugged refreshments, believing she is genuinely unwell. The bed’s austere, monastic design contrasts with the dramatic tension of the moment, emphasizing the cell’s role as both a prison and a space of deception.

Before: Unoccupied and neatly made, reflecting the cell’s sparse, disciplined environment.
After: Disheveled, with Victoria having been placed on it briefly before her sudden recovery and escape. The bed remains in the cell, a silent witness to the betrayal that unfolded.
