Object
Poisoned Delivery Tray
A plain metal tray carries wine bottles, goblets, bowls, and food. Condo stabilizes it with both hands as he limps forward, the rhythmic clank of his steps syncing with the shifting weight across the tray. The wine bottles lack the telltale beads of condensation, their contents heavier than expected for mere hospitality, while the food’s fresh breakage hints at compulsive preparation rather than genuine nourishment.
