Object
College Cafeteria Freezer (back of cafeteria)
A tall, industrial kitchen freezer occupying the back of the college cafeteria — a heavy, box‑like metal unit with a thick insulated door and a recessed handle. Frost halos the gasket, the surface bears scuffs and institutional stickers, and the door yields an audible clang when shut. Characters slam into it, use it as an immovable boundary, and press a reporter against its cold face as a defensive, tactile intervention.

Purpose
Refrigerated cold‑storage for food and kitchen supplies in the cafeteria; in the scene it functions as a physical barrier and momentary containment when personnel shove or trap the reporter against it.
Significance
Serves as the immediate, physical instrument of protection and intimidation: Gina pins the reporter to its bulk to halt the ambush, turning an ordinary kitchen appliance into a prop that converts private student life into a public confrontation and visually marks the breach of safety.
