Helen initiates covert investigation

Helen’s bag serves as a symbolic anchor in this moment of transition. Placed deliberately on Andi’s bed, it represents both her preparation for the act of snooping and her grounding in the physical space. The bag is untouched during the event, but its presence underscores Helen’s intent—she is not merely passing through but committing to a deliberate search. Its placement also mirrors her emotional state: a tangible object in a room filled with intangible questions.

Before: Carried by Helen, likely containing personal items or tools for investigation (e.g., notes, a phone, or Andi’s belongings).

After: Resting on Andi’s bed, untouched but now a part of the room’s altered atmosphere—no longer just a private space but a site of investigation.
