Object

Chang's Revolver

Chang loads the revolver in the darkness outside Jago’s door, its blued steel snicking as the hammer cocks. The weapon’s compact frame vanishes when tucked into a coat pocket, then reappears with grim purpose when aimed point-blank at the Doctor’s chest—a threat disguised as stage prop. Its single action grip fits Chang’s hand, balancing lethal precision with the performer’s sleight-of-hand, until the shot rings out and blood splatters the curtain.
