Central America (geopolitical pressure zone)

Central America registers as a geopolitical pressure zone invoked by a briefing folder and a line of dictation. The name arrives in Leo's office as the rustle of classified pages, the chill of late‑night lighting, and the stale scent of cold coffee. It compresses distant capitals, embassy cables, and urgent memos into a private burden that tightens speech and justifies curt, defensive comportment. As an implied space, it functions less as mapped terrain than as moral weight shaping choices and domestic strain.
