Stack of Old Books on Trestle

A slanted wooden trestle outside a shop displays a collection of faded and chipped paperbacks, their spines cracked from decades of handling. The Doctor browses their worn pages with idle curiosity while Ace, Jay, and Stevie stand nearby, their casual inspection underscoring the everyday nature of the scene. The books' discolored jackets and brittle pages hint at stories long forgotten, yet their presence frames the Doctor's observation of the neighborhood's unnatural quiet.
