Senate Hearing Room

Harsh committee lights bleach faces in a packed, claustrophobic chamber built around a raised dais where Senator Morrison commands tiered seating. Microphones and banks of cameras fix like intent eyes while paper rustles and whispered urgencies thread the air. Leo McGarry stands under hot scrutiny, voice steady as he accepts responsibility; an aide's urgent whisper about Serbia snaps the room into motion. The abrupt recess yanks moral reckoning into an immediate geopolitical crisis, turning public accountability into operational emergency and leaving tension electric and unresolved.
