Glass of Wine Offered by Minuet
A finely crafted glass of wine presented by the holographic Minuet during an intimate holodeck gathering. The glass catches the soft lighting, its deep red contents shimmering as Minuet extends it toward Captain Picard in a fluid gesture of hospitality. Its delicate stem and polished surface contrast the artificial setting, yet it functions as a tangible token bridging simulated illusion and genuine social ritual. The glass serves as both an invitation and a symbol, momentarily grounding the surreal encounter in a moment of shared civility and subtle emotional exchange among Riker, Minuet, and Picard.
