Doctor and Zoe exposed in lecture hall

The area outside the lecture hall is a tight, confined space where Carstairs is restrained. The alarm’s blare echoes through this space, triggering his violent breakdown and escape. The location’s adjacency to the lecture hall makes it a critical junction for the unfolding chaos, as Carstairs’ freedom coincides with the Doctor and Zoe’s flight. The narrow corridors and restricted access amplify the sense of urgency and the difficulty of evasion.
