Striped Scarf

A narrow textile in alternating light and dark stripes, draped loosely around Binro’s neck during his interrogation. The scarf’s frayed edges flutter with his labored breathing as Sholakh aggressively seizes his arm, twisting the fabric to expose the hidden wrist communicator pinned beneath it. Its worn wool suggests long-term use in the catacombs’ chill air, while the striping pattern—visible even in the dim torchlight—creates a fleeting moment of pattern recognition that fails to distract the interrogators from their immediate suspicion.
