Its surface, likely made of dark wood or polished material, reflects the tension of the moment, as Leo sits entranced, grappling with his sobriety amidst the lavishness of the alcohol offerings. The table is not merely functional; it embodies the pressure of political maneuvering in an intimate setting.
