C.J.'s Execution Briefing Folder (manila routing folder; S1E14 'Take This Sabbath Day')

A letter‑size routing folder—manila, slightly softened at the corners—holding a thin stack of stapled briefing pages, a clinical timetable of an execution, and a small inset photograph. The pages rustle when handled; margins carry penciled timing notes. C.J. fingers the top sheet mechanically, eyes tracing the sterile sequence as Mandy checks the packet. The folder sits between professional detachment and private unease, its printed timetable acting as a cold, tactile relay of state power.

After: Opened and read; remains in C.J.'s possession as a physical reminder of the night's duty and the moral weight it carries.

After: In C.J.'s possession, opened and read through; remains the tangible source of the timetable that precipitated her distress.
