Half Moon Hotel Sixth-Story Window

Toby points to the sixth-story window of the Half Moon Hotel as a stark emblem of his father Julie's violent past in Brownsville. From this high perch, gang retribution unfolded—likely a shooting or desperate plunge amid predation on vulnerable targets. The sheer drop evokes irreversible peril, heightening the emotional chasm between father and son during their tense office confrontation. Dim night light filters through, casting long shadows over a history Toby refuses to debate.
