Barclay's Self-Soothing Blanket
Barclay drapes this soft blanket over himself in his quarters during desperate meditation to ease crippling anxiety. Fabric bunches under his tense grip as he seeks sensory calm, but he shoves it aside when the transporter imprint spreads across his skin, abandoning futile comfort for action. Its disheveled state underscores the collapse of isolation into resolve.
