Apgar's Beaten-Down Suit

A rumpled, well‑worn men's suit—dark, possibly wool-blend, with softened shoulders, a slightly misshapen collar, and faint creasing at the elbows and knees. The jacket rides loose across the chest; cuffs show mild fraying and the lapel bears a small scuff. In the holodeck replay Manua smooths the fabric and cups Apgar's cheek through the lapel, the garment absorbing and reflecting the replay’s warm lighting as a tactile sign of his battered dignity.

Purpose

Personal clothing worn by Apgar in the holodeck replay; functions as a costume/prop to clothe the character and make his physical state visually legible to others.

Significance

Serves as a tangible cue of Apgar's fragility and diminished circumstances within an intimate private moment, humanizing him and complicating later accusations—its worn condition evokes sympathy and undercuts simple motive readings in the public testimony.

Holographic Intimacy: Manua Consoles Apgar

Apgar's beaten-down suit functions as a tactile signifier of the man's worn dignity: Manua straightens the lapel and brushes the fabric, using it to image him as presentable and respectable to arriving investigators. The suit anchors the domestic detail of the replay and visually contrasts ambition with decay.

Before: Worn by Apgar and rumpled, softened at shoulders and creased at elbows—physically present on the frozen figure.

After: Smoothed somewhat by Manua's attention but still visibly beaten-down; remains on Apgar as he exits toward the other room.
