Jimmy’s heat-tape blanket protected Juliette during her earlier airlock return, though she judged it insufficient to save the other cleaner.
The blanket was assembled from strips of heat tape, with Juliette requiring at least an inch of overlap and the seams sealed with a torch. She took it outside with her, then pinned its edges beneath her knees and feet during the Airlock fire. She judged that the protection could not keep the other cleaner alive in his inferior suit and remained sheltered until the flames ended.
During her latest return, Juliette remembers using Solo’s blanket while waiting outside the airlock on that earlier journey.
