Nyssa's Slip

A knee-length undergarment worn beneath Nyssa’s circular striped skirt during the escape sequence, its lightweight fabric clinging to her form as the illness weakens her. The slip’s pale color contrasts with the bold stripes of her skirt, its simple cut offering little concealment for the ravages of Lazar’s disease beneath. Kari adjusts it clumsily during the hurried evacuation, her hands fumbling with unseen fastenings while Nyssa’s pleas go unheard. The garment’s presence is exposed only in moments of desperation, its practicality irrelevant in the face of contamination fears.
