Louvre Emergency Torch

A cylindrical handheld torch with a brushed metal body and textured grip, its glass lens protected by a metal rim. Romana wields it to sweep light across the darkened Salle des États, illuminating empty frames where the Mona Lisa once hung and exposing the disabled alarms and unconscious guard. The torch's beam cuts through the gallery's oppressive dark, its focused glow revealing the scale of Scarlioni’s infiltration—alarm panels pried open, cables severed, and the faint outline of boot prints in dust near the emergency exit.
