Object
Ice‑Cream Scoop (Threatened Weapon)
A small, handheld kitchen utensil invoked verbally — the rounded metal bowl and short handle of an ice‑cream scoop are imagined rather than shown. The mention arrives as a jagged image in a smoke‑filled Senate suite, used in dialogue as an improvised instrument of harm, provoking alarm and sharpening conflict.
