Object
Charlie’s Coat (diner — personal outerwear)
A personal outer coat Charlie grabs as he prepares to leave the diner: mid-length and dark in tone, the fabric showing soft wear from frequent use and slightly rumpled sleeves. Charlie pulls it on with a terse, decisive motion; the garment functions as a wearable shield and an exit prop that physically punctuates his choice to depart the conversation.
