Doctor flees with Bettan after Dalek massacre

The Doctor’s scarf is loosely wound around his neck as the massacre occurs, its frayed ends catching the dim emergency lighting of the Thal dome. He selects the trailing end and tucks it into his jacket with practiced hands, a nearly automatic gesture offering no real protection but grounding his actions in familiarity amid shock.

Before: A long green scarf, its ends frayed from years of wear, drapes loosely around the Fourth Doctor's neck. It is in good condition, tucked into his jacket but not tightly secured.
After: The scarf is still secured around the Doctor's neck, slightly adjusted after he tucks the trailing end into his jacket with quick, practiced hands to keep it from dangling during their escape.
