Object
Spare Guest Quarters Window
A narrow bulkhead-mounted pane of clear, reinforced glass set into the spare guest quarter's wall. The sill sits at chest height; the rim is utilitarian metal, finish dulled by shipboard wear. Interior light skims the surface, throwing back faint, ghosted reflections of anyone who stands before it while the lens itself frames the cold void beyond the hull. Characters press their palms to the frame, stare through the glass, write beside it, and use the reflective surface as a last private witness to inward collapse.

Purpose
To admit an external view and interior light into the spare guest quarter and to serve as a simple architectural aperture for occupants to observe the exterior and gather their thoughts.
Significance
Functions as the emotional fulcrum of the guest‑quarters beats: the window anchors private humiliation, quiet concealment, and catastrophic resignation. It frames Setal's awkward domestic disorientation, witnesses the secret wristband reveal, and becomes Jarok's final visual horizon as he writes a letter and takes his concealed chip—turning an ordinary architectural feature into a charged narrative witness to deception, grief, and command fallout.
