Doctor Warlock's Arm Sling

A support sling wrapped around Doctor Warlock's injured arm during the confrontation with Sutekh's rising threat. The off-white fabric clings loosely to his arm, concealing bandages beneath, and appears hastily applied rather than professionally fitted. Sarah Jane tends to the wound efficiently, her fingers adjusting the strap with practiced care while she and the Doctor exchange looks about the escalating danger.
