Object
Compost Room Control Button
A recessed mechanical button mounted on the compost room’s control panel. Its metallic surface gleams dully under the chamber’s harsh lighting. Barely larger than Sarah’s fingertip, the button is positioned where panic or haste could easily misidentify it—just above the belt’s activation switch. Its deliberate placement makes it a precarious point of control in the race against the conveyor’s deadly grind.
