Doctor discovers troubled return to Perivale

Discarded tin cans lie strewn across Horsenden Hill like epidemiological markers of abandonment, their labels dulled and dented. The Doctor sniffs and examines one, detecting residual odors separate from rust and decay, while Ace gestures at them as proof the hill’s current state contrasts with her memories. They serve as breadcrumbs to the unseen temporal rupture afflicting Perivale.

Before: Silent and unremarkable litter in a forgotten corner of the hill

After: Elevated to significant forensic clues, examined closely by the Doctor
