Object
Finn's Sketchbook
A worn personal sketchbook—palm-sized, pages thumbed and annotated—filled with quick, urgent drawings and fragmentary notes that suggest planning rather than idle doodling. Beverly produces the book, flipping it open to show jagged sketches and terse phrases; Picard reads it with growing alarm as the pages become proof of intent. The book functions as a tactile accusation, its paper staining the moment with intimate, irrevocable evidence.

Purpose
A personal notebook for sketches and notes; in this context it serves as a physical clue and evidentiary record revealing Finn's plans and intent.
Significance
Serves as the narrative pivot that converts suspicion into actionable threat—Beverly's revelation of the sketchbook supplies Picard with tactical and psychological leverage, humanizes the danger, and precipitates the emotional confession that is violently interrupted, thus reframing the rescue as a moral rupture.
