Object
Setal's Guest-Quarter Boot
A single personal boot that Setal removes while alone in the guest quarters. The scene gives no precise visual details of material, size, or wear; its physical attributes remain unspecified. The boot functions as a tangible, domestic prop: Setal slips it off and places it aside prior to opening a wristband, turning ordinary grooming into a private, preparatory action. The removed boot anchors the moment, marking separation from public performance and enabling the concealed gesture that follows.

Purpose
Personal footwear intended to protect the foot and enable walking; in the scene it is used practically as Setal's shoe and is removed to allow a private action.
Significance
Serves as a narrative prop that enables and frames a covert act: removing the boot precedes Setal exposing a hidden blue chip in a wristband. The ordinary gesture heightens intimacy, underscores cultural disorientation, and helps pivot crew suspicion toward potential deception.
