Object
Korean War Books (Toby's Office)
A clustered stack and shelf of worn hardcover and paperback volumes focused on the Korean War: faded cloth and creased paperbacks with scuffed spines, dog‑eared pages, and a few pencilled annotations at margins. The books sit within arm’s reach of Toby’s desk, framing him as he moves and speaks; characters glance at the titles as if the volumes supply context and moral weight to the conversation about the homeless veteran.
