Object
Pot of Chili (Residence Kitchen — Staff Chili Night)
A large enamel stockpot, darkened at the rim from frequent use, brimming with a simmering, mahogany-red chili studded with beans and softened meat. Steam lifts a smoky-sweet scent of tomato, garlic, and warmed spices; a long-handled ladle rests against the pot's lip. Characters lean over the pot to taste, pinch spices, and trade conspiratorial nudges — the pot anchors a domestic, tactile moment of shared food and small rebellions.
