Small Favor, Large Signal

The hallway wall beside Sam's office becomes a physical foil when Sam, distracted while speaking to Charlie, bumps himself against it. The contact is a small, comedic physical beat that externalizes his mild discomfort and humanizes his flustered reaction to the request.

Before: Intact corridor wall adjacent to Sam's office door, with faint wear but no immediate fresh impact.

After: Brief contact leaves a small abrasion or scuff; the wall records the minor stumble as a tactile punctuation to Sam's emotional state.

Delegated Birthday, Fraying Composure

The hallway wall beside Sam's office door is physically bumped by Sam as he enters, producing a small, comic stumble that reads as a physical tell — it externalizes his distraction and defensive discomfort at the petty request.

Before: Intact corridor wall, scuffed in places; unobtrusive background element.

After: Slightly impacted by Sam's collision (a mild, anecdotal contact), remaining structurally unchanged but now narratively marked as the place Sam visibly faltered.
