Object
Jean‑Luc Picard's Night Robe
A lightweight, loose‑draping night robe of muted fabric that slips over the shoulders and ties at the waist. The hem falls to mid‑thigh and the weave reads matte under dim quarters lighting. Worn by Picard as he jolts awake, the robe functions as a quick, informal covering—wrinkled from sleep but well‑kept—its simple cut suggesting private, domestic use rather than formal attire. Picard pulls it on while answering an urgent long‑range transmission; Worf's voice and Admiral Haftel's image register against the robe's intimacy, marking the wearer’s sudden shift from rest to command tension.
