Hurricane Lamp Shards
The Doctor dismembers a lantern with controlled force, sending glass cascading onto the floor. Stevenson immediately understands—broken glass means an improvised blade to sever ropes. Neither pauses to consider the thin hurricane glass shell before they discard the intact shell entirely. These shards exist only through violence, transformed from gentle home illumination to crude cutting tool within seconds, a stark reversal of their designed purpose.
