Entrance to the Press Area

C.J. freezes at the Entrance to the Press Area, her body taut as death threats from Saudi firestorm backlash coil unseen in broad daylight. Tense pause detonates inner war—principled fury versus mortal shadow—before she breaches the Press Room. Carol shadows her resolute stride inside, while Toby and Sam root behind, their deliberate halt slashing the air with abandonment's edge. This threshold throbs as vulnerability's crucible, routine portal warping into defiant gauntlet where isolation amplifies every unspoken peril.
