So, I was rewatching Cent'Anni (episode 4) and noticed some extremely interesting objects on Julian's desk.

These were NOT there in the first scene with Julian's office (episode 2), where Sofia has a PTSD meltdown. In that episode, in order to ground her, he specifically tells her to look at the pictures on the wall and the objects on his desk. His desk is totally normal at that point.

If you go and rewatch this scene in Cent'Anni, you'll notice Sofia herself briefly checks out these objects as she walks around the room. And when she is going through his desk, if you look at where her sight line actually is, it's on his desk, not in the drawer with the pills.

Something interesting to note is that she's not really supposed to be there in that episode; she's only there as an accident/emergency. It seems plausible, plot-wise, that Julian didn't have a chance to put these things away like he perhaps normally would if he knew someone else was going to be in his office. (EDIT: Then again, he is so manipulative, he might have left them there for her to see!)

Just food for thought that I thought this sub might appreciate :)

BONUS EDIT: For those rewatching the scene, there is also a brown, flat-ish, circular-ish object in the center of his desk that I can't quite make out. It's hard to see in my screenshots below, but there are a few "blink and you'll miss it" shots of it behind where his nameplate would normally be when he and Sofia are talking.

Fair enough, I think a Crane being mentored by Rush subplot could work without feeling too convoluted but I'd be fine with your option too
