Gift‑Wrapped Pen — A Small Humanizing Beat

The Qumai passport (Jamil Bari's) functions as the factual pivot in the dialogue — the identifying clue that re-frames the pen moment into a security emergency. It is the piece of evidence that transforms suspicion into a narrative lead.

Before: Implied as newly surfaced intelligence in staff discussion (in C.J.'s possession or the subject of her briefing).

After: Referenced as part of the lead they will take to the upper press room/meeting; its implications now drive staff movement and decisions.

Before: Exists as intelligence/evidence being circulated among staff (implicitly held by press/intel channels); in play as a point of discussion.

After: Now part of the working intelligence that propels Leo and C.J. toward the upper press room to pursue the meeting and its implications.
