Object
Chang's Dressing Room Sideboard Drawer
A shallow wooden drawer in Chang's dressing room cabinet, its edges slightly warped from frequent opening and closing. The brass handle feels cold and rigid under Chang's fingers as he loads the revolver with deliberate precision, his movements steady despite the escalating tension outside. The drawer slides open with minimal sound, revealing only the weapon and a strip of cloth used for cleaning—no other items clutter the space, emphasizing the drawer's purpose as a functional hiding place for lethal implements.
