Metropolitan International Financial Center
Geneva
Geneva registers as a distant, bureaucratic gravity well: an international financial center that exists for the characters as clipped telephone clicks, institutional formality, and the cold arithmetic of accounts. In the guest lounge the city compresses into a nameless line on Ralph’s mind, dragging attention away from immediate human needs and converting global institutions into intimate panic. The space tastes of paper‑thin security, ledgered weight, and muted authority—an offstage metropolitan presence that catalyzes fear, urgency, and the crew’s moral reprioritization.
