Dormitory Entertainment Videos (Stack of Tapes)

A small, mismatched stack of rental and home-recorded video tapes in scuffed plastic cases and handwritten sleeves, roughly palm-sized and carried in a paper bag. Titles sit askew; labels bear fingerprints and worn tape residue. Charlie presents the stack with a self-deprecating smile, offering them alongside popcorn and flowers; the tapes function as a tangible invitation to sit down, watch, and reopen conversation.

Apology at Zoey's Door — A Quiet Reconciliation

The stack of entertainment videos functions as Charlie's primary reparative gambit—offering shared, low-key distraction and the promise of time and attention. It literalizes his wish to sit, watch, and reconnect rather than debate the past.

Before: Carried by Charlie among his gifts in the hallway prior to the conversation.

After: Implied to be carried into Zoey's room as Charlie follows her inside; set up for an evening of shared viewing.
