Phantom Laughter from the TARDIS Doorway

The sound of laughter seeps through the open police box door, its clarity unsettling in the Cloister Room’s heavy silence.

The laughter mocks the Doctor’s evasions, becoming the audible embodiment of the TARDIS’s hidden mysteries and the Master’s unseen pursuit.
