Object
Glass of Ice Water (Hoynes Office — Comfort for Leo)
A clear short tumbler, roughly palm-sized, filled with cold water and visible ice cubes; beads of condensation cling to its exterior. Janeane carries the glass into the Vice President's office and sets or hands it to Leo, who lifts and drinks from it to steady his voice and hands. After use it remains on the desk as a quiet trace of the exchange.
