Korean War Memorial Visitors (dawn crowd)

A diffuse collective of civilians who occupy the Korean War Veterans Memorial at dawn. They operate as ambient witnesses and environmental texture, their presence lending public scale and moral weight to the discovery of a blanket-covered body. Their quiet circulation and watchful silence contrast with procedural indifference, amplifying Toby's moral urgency and converting the memorial from neutral backdrop into a community of observers whose existence frames civic responsibility and the need for a dignified response to the dead veteran.
