Donna's Bullpen Desk (workstation)

A well-worn office desk stationed in the bullpen, layered with interoffice envelopes, manila folders, stapled briefing pages and a scattering of sticky notes. A small, slightly antiquated desktop computer and a handset sit within reach; paper edges show frequent handling. Characters lean on its edge, slide routing folders across its surface, and Donna uses it as a tactile focal point when deflecting, directing, or passing along information.

Refusal and Fracture in Josh's Office

Donna's desk functions as the operational hub in the scene: Josh walks to it to ask who he should talk to, Donna stands at it to report on Madison and the antiquated files, and it serves as the tactile anchor for the production and transfer of information.

Before: Set in Josh's office with a humming computer, stacks of paper, and ready as the information node.

After: Remains in place; used as the point where Josh directs a message to Leo's office and where logistics are coordinated.

Donna Defends Josh's Unshakeable Loyalty

Before: Desk occupies its usual place in Josh's bullpen, papers and personal items present; Donna is seated behind it.

After: Remains the locus of the conversation; unchanged physically but now marked by the emotional revelation that occurred there.
