Romana's Boater Hat

A lightweight boater hat made of stiffened straw, its flat crown and curved brim holding the faint imprint of Romana's head. The hat’s wide ribbon of ribboned silk sags where the top was crushed during Adric’s hasty search or Romana’s sudden removal. Its straw weave glints dully in the room’s sparse overhead light, the only remnant of Romana’s presence in the ransacked space. The Doctor grasps it by the brim as if it were a compass pointing toward her.
