Leela's Quarters

A private chamber within the presidential residence of Gallifrey, furnished with austere Gallifreyan elegance. Subdued light filters through ornate latticework, casting geometric shadows across metallic surfaces. A low dais holds a single ceremonial rug embroidered with Time Lord sigils, while a weapons rack sits conspicuously empty—the absence of Leela's knife underscoring the tension between her defiance and the room's prescribed role. The space smells faintly of ozone from Gallifrey's controlled atmosphere, mingling with the sharp metallic tang of unused arms. Walls display holographic projections of planetary alignments, their silent rotation accentuating the room's isolation from the political storm outside.
