Andy’s office is the site of the CPS phone call that greenlights the charges against Sean.

The office’s cramped interior, stacks of files, and fluorescent lights create an atmosphere of grind and urgency, reinforcing the idea that this decision is part of a larger system that prioritizes efficiency over moral certainty.
