No Weapons Display

A deliberate gesture of harmlessness performed openly by Mel to the Blue Kangs. She extends her empty hands and arms—fingers splayed wide, palms clearly visible—letting the gang inspect for any hidden blades or tools in her sleeves or pockets. The motion is tense, the sleeves of her jacket pulled back slightly by her deliberate action, revealing skin and the absence of anything more than a single wrist strap. The Blue Kangs cluster around her with sharp eyes, reaching to pat her sleeves and waistband, confirming the show of vulnerability.
