Tin opener

A small metal device with a rotating wheel and lever handle, its edges slightly worn from repeated use. The Doctor grips it firmly to pry open tins of cat food with practiced efficiency, its sharp cutting wheel leaving jagged edges in the metal lids. The tool's metallic clink cuts through the quiet night as he arranges bait under the neighbor's watchful gaze.

Before: Clean and functional, lying in the Doctor’s possession or near at hand.
