Daniel Hill's Bike

A utilitarian black bicycle with a slightly bent rear wheel and worn components, serving as Daniel Hill's primary mode of short-distance transportation around St Cedd's College. It bears characteristic signs of frequent use including faint chain rust, dulled handlebar grips, and urban commuting scrapes on its frame, with an empty front basket. The bicycle is functionally identical across scenes, appearing either near Chronotis' rooms or leaning against college walls during Daniel's brief journeys between locations.

Before: Leaned against a college wall in a functional parking stand, ready for use.

After: Remains in situ, no longer directly referenced once Hill’s journey transitions to foot traffic.
