Wet Cloth Used for Emotional Grounding
A simple, damp cloth becomes Counselor Troi's anchor in storm-tossed seas of emotion. The fabric, cool against her heated skin, carries the weight of impossible choices and unborn futures. She presses it to her forehead, then trails it across cheeks hollowed by exhaustion, each pass absorbing not just physical strain but the psychic residue of fear threatening to crack her legendary composure. The cloth transforms from mere utility to sacred talisman—her fingers grip it like a lifeline as she stares at a belly swollen with impossibility, using its tangible reality to ground herself in a moment where nothing else makes sense.
