Doctor detects ghostly intruder

The antique wood paneling lining the corridor’s walls becomes a tangible record of Linx’s ghostly passage when struck by the soldier’s bullet. A fresh, irregular hole disrupts the dark-stained surface, its edges splintered outward. The impact also triggers a secondary resonance with the Doctor’s temporal detector, heightening the moment of intrusion into medieval space.

Before: Dark-stained oak panels, polished and unblemished, save for centuries of wear

After: Splintered and punctured near the base of the stairs, revealing raw wood beneath the patina
