Ainsley Hayes's Education Textbooks

A compact stack of heavy, cloth-bound educational volumes—varied cover colors, dog-eared corners, and institutional stamps—roughly textbook size (8–10 inches tall). Lighting from the studio throws a slight glare on glossy charts inside. Ainsley fingers the top book when making a point; Mark gestures toward them; Sam glances at a spine, measuring their evidentiary weight. Backstage hierarchies sharpen as these props loom in the debate's shadow, invoked in policy clashes between Ainsley, Sam, and Mark.
