Wardrobe of Victims' Clothing

A tall wooden wardrobe jammed against the laboratory's rear wall, stuffed with misshapen garments of children's, women's, and girls' sizes. The dresses, blouses, and skirts reek of decay, their colors leached by time into shapeless stains of gray and brown. Inside, the air feels heavier, as if the clothes still carry the phantom weight of their wearers. The Doctor sees in them not fabric but a ledger of Weng-Chiang's cruelty—a trophy cabinet of the missing, their identities erased except in these last vestiges.
