Larson appears as a young UN Navy man caught in the danger and confusion around the elevator. When an elevator door pins his arm, he is found in an environment suit with a small tear in its sleeve and a brown stain. After removing his helmet, he draws a long breath and offers a sad smile, a brief act of human warmth amid the crisis.
Description
Larson is a young, compact-looking Earther with pale skin and vivid red hair cropped close to his scalp. His close-cut hair gives his face a neat, practical outline, though the text provides no further detail about his eyes or facial features. He wears a United Nations Navy uniform, and in hazardous surroundings an environment suit with a small tear in the sleeve and a brown stain. His presence is modest and composed, with a sad, gentle smile that softens his sailor’s bearing.
