Danilo Odell's Flask

A small, palm‑sized hip flask—worn metal with a muted sheen and the scuff marks of frequent handling. Carried on Danilo Odell’s person and briefly produced during the transporter‑room confrontation, he inspects the flask with a quick, intimate motion before slipping it back into a pocket. The flask sits close to the body, easy to palm, and functions as a tactile prop that punctuates Danilo’s gestures and composure amid chaos.
