Portico Marine Guard (unnamed)

An unnamed member of the President's ceremonial Marine detail, he performs strict, silent protocol that keeps state ritual intact while political storms rage inside. Posted on the portico, he exchanges crisp salutes and executes a measured march, projecting institutional steadiness rather than personal story. Brief camera attention on his departure converts him into a living cipher of continuity: visible and anonymous, his disciplined movements reframe the episode's political friction as subordinate to enduring ceremony and duty.
