Location
Hallway in the Sheraton
Night's hush grips the Sheraton hallway, tension crackling post-speech as Sam hovers near the door, phone clamped to ear, betrayal sharpening his voice while Toby's pragmatic spin slices through the line. He shoulders outside, back slammed against cold wall, gaze piercing the threshold to a stone-faced audience—silence devours applause, failure's raw chill radiating back through the corridor's dim limbo, bridging stage's ideological wreckage to staff rift's deepening faultlines.
