The Doctor's Likeness Statue

A chilling polystyrene sculpture modeled precisely after the Second Doctor, positioned prominently in the Tranquil Repose Gardens. Its exaggerated features twist familiar kindness into grotesque familiarity, the physical likeness unsettling for its accuracy. The statue stands unnaturally still amid the gardens' cultivated opulence, its blank stare and rigid posture suggesting both surveillance and latent violence. The Doctor's immediate recognition of the faux likeness marks the first tangible proof of Davros' expanding influence in this pocket of Earth's aristocratic decay.
