Dr. Sharma's Glass of Tea

Dr. Sharma drinks from a glass of tea while playing Patience in the fog-choked passenger lounge of the Demeter. The clear glass holds steaming liquid that she sips amid Dracula's seductive monologue targeting Lord Ruthven. Adisa watches in horror nearby, and Yamini observes the group's unraveling dynamics. This everyday beverage anchors the scene's tension, its steam curling up as a fragile reminder of normalcy against the Count's predatory touch under the table and whispers of the Grand Duchess's disappearance.
