Mural Room Visitor Seats (upholstered armchairs; cluster)
Dark-upholstered armchairs cluster intimately in the Mural Room, their worn leather creasing under collapse as President Nimbala plummets into one, shame raw and unfiltered fracturing his resolve. Low arms and broad backs frame the huddle—Toby leans forward with sudden compassion, translator poised nearby, Josh surges upward from the group to seize decisive action—transforming formal furniture into the raw stage where policy armor shatters into human confession.
