Object
Hyde's Abandoned Tea Leaves
A small residue of damp tea leaves at the bottom of Hyde’s chipped porcelain cup, left where it sat forgotten during the Doctor’s failed device assembly. The leaves cling to the cup’s interior, their once-green edges now stained brown by long-cooled liquid. When the Brigadier overturns the cup searching for usable parts, the tea leaves spill across Hyde’s cluttered coffee table, mingling with scattered corks and wire fragments from the shattered apparatus. Their mundane origin contrasts sharply with the crisis unfolding around them.
