Metal Restraint Earmuffs

Rorvik’s crew secures Romana’s head in cold metal earmuffs, clamping the restraints tight around her temples before snapping them into place with a metallic click. The earmuffs lack any padding or cushioning, their rigid metal plates pressing directly against her skin. Their industrial design—sleek but brutal—contrasts sharply with the chair’s smooth contours, emphasizing their function as a tool of coercion, not comfort.
