Doctor improvises magnetic field bypass

The hanging racks of greatcoats serve as an obstacle that the group must navigate to reach the wall. Their dense, swaying mass slows their progress, adding a layer of physical challenge to the scene. The greatcoats' thick woolen folds brush against the characters, creating a tactile and visual barrier that underscores the urgency and difficulty of their situation. Their presence also contributes to the atmosphere of a war-torn, abandoned space, reinforcing the desperation of the group's escape attempt.

Before: Dense and intact, forming a physical barrier that must be pushed through to reach the wall.
After: Disturbed and partially displaced by the group's passage, their original configuration altered but still present in the room.
