Purple TARDIS Absence Trace

A perfect violet square shimmering on the gallery floor where the TARDIS vanished, its color deepening to near-black at the edges as if bleeding into the surrounding stone. The imprint pulses faintly with residual temporal energy, visible only in certain angles of light. Romana’s hand hovers over it, fingers twitching—not quite touching—as she realizes the ship’s sudden absence isn’t natural. The Outlers crowd around it, their reflections distorted by the faint distortion, their faces tightening as they grasp the impossibility of reclamation.
