Longing Interrupted — Duty Calls

Wesley's quarters operates as an intimate, private space where adolescent longing and daydreaming can occur; it is also the place where professional demands intrude, converting a personal fantasy into an operational obligation and staging Wesley's shift from self‑absorption to action.

Atmosphere

Initially private and wistful — a small sanctuary of adolescent fantasy — then briskly punctured by duty, creating a contrast between warm introspection and cool operational clarity.

Functional Role

Sanctuary for private reflection and the immediate staging area for transferring a physical part to Engineering; it also functions as the dramaturgical site where internal conflict becomes externalized.
