Object
Northwest Lobby Wall Window (Interior Glass Pane)
A narrow, eye‑level rectangular interior window set into the Northwest Lobby wall: a single clear glass pane held in a painted wood frame about knee-to-head height. The pane catches a thin shaft of daylight and bears faint fingerprints and smudges that momentarily blur passing figures. It does not open; it functions as a visual aperture and background prop that fragments movement into quick silhouettes, sharpening the sense of sudden contact when staff intersect in the lobby.

Purpose
To admit natural light and provide brief sightlines between lobby and adjacent circulation spaces, functioning as a visual signal and nonverbal framing device for character movement and interception.
Significance
Acts as a prop/signal in the turning-point moment: the window's light and framed sightline emphasize the abrupt transition from Josh's private agitation to public, urgent action when Donna intercepts him, heightening tension and marking the scene's shift toward political escalation.
