Glass Shard for Forced Labor

A jagged fragment of glass, roughly the size of a palm, its edges dull from repeated use. Professor Edgeworth forces the Jacondan twins to inscribe complex equations onto this makeshift slate with the glass's sharpest point, their fingers bleeding as they comply. The glass sits amid scattered scratches and dried stains on the workbench, a tool of coercion rather than utility.

Professor Edgeworth asserts control over Jacondan twins

Its jagged edges reopen fresh wounds when they reluctantly comply, symbolizing both their intellectual degradation and the physical toll of unpaid labour.

Before: Lying discarded among broken pens on the workbench, bearing old scratches and dried stains from prior forced labour sessions.

After: Still clasped by the twins as they scratch out more equations, now freshly bloodied from resumed pressure on their sore fingers.
