Chela takes the cell key against Lon's regime

Lon offers a non-descript drink on Ambril’s desk as a calculated distraction, providing Chela with a plausible pretext to approach and handle objects near the targeted cell key. The amber liquid in a crystal tumbler becomes both a social prop and a tactical tool, enabling the key’s theft under the guise of customary hospitality.

Before: Glass with amber liquid placed on desk, barely half full

After: Removed by Lon moments later, suggesting the drink’s role in the deception is complete
