Jo’s Letter
A folded document held by Jo, its paper edges worn from handling and sealed with a smudge of ink beneath its creases. The Doctor presses it forward despite the escalating psychic storm disrupting the UNIT lab, the letter’s contents apparently demanding resolution. As Clegg collapses under the crystal’s psychic backlash, the letter remains clamped in the Doctor’s grip, its symbolic weight momentarily overriding the chaos before the Metebelis crystal’s lethal energy ruptures through the room.
