Chronotis' Plastic Bag

A clear plastic bag, crinkled and slightly greasy from repeated use, cradles the newly acquired paperback at its center. The bag’s thin material sticks to the book’s worn spine, emphasizing its role as a last-minute container rather than a deliberate storage solution. Daniel Hill and Parsons handle it with distracted care, passing it between them as they shift focus from scholarly transaction to immediate academic obligations.
