The Master secures Trenchards compliance

The narrow servants' stair acts as a conduit for the Master's deliberate, measured descent into the Governor's Office, where his measured footfalls amplify the tension before he appears. Its confining space and echoing acoustics enhance the isolation of the conversation, making it a perfect channel for control and psychological manipulation.
