Lon takes the beaker from Tanha

The gauntlets Lon wears are both functional and symbolic, their presence accentuating his controlled aggression. They frame his demand for the beaker as an act of measured assertion rather than overt force. Their dark surface reflects the tension in the chamber, signaling both readiness and concealment.

Before: Worn by Lon as he descends the stairs, equipped but not previously highlighted in the scene.

After: Still worn by Lon, their symbolic weight undiminished as he persists in his demand.
