Silver Pillow under the Doctor's Head

A rectangular cushion of silver fabric rests beneath the Doctor’s head as he lies unconscious on the control room floor. Its metallic sheen catches the pale light filtering through the control room’s dim windows, offering a stark contrast to the rough-spun cloaks and primitive furs that serve as bedding for the Sevateem and Tesh. The pillow’s thin padding lacks the embroidered adornments found on the tribes’ ceremonial blankets, marking it as an alien or relic object brought in during the Doctor’s brief return to consciousness.
