S19E1 · Castrovalva Part 1
Doctor tests his new body in haste

The cricket jumper is clumsily pulled over the Doctor’s shirt as a first attempt at regaining normalcy; its oversized knit and loose fit mirror his uncoordinated new body, making the act of dressing itself a practical test of regained coordination. He uses it not for warmth but for familiar sensory engagement.

Before: Stored folded in the changing room wardrobe, untouched since the previous regeneration cycle
After: Worn loosely over the Doctor’s shirt, sleeves stretched by unfamiliar hands, testifying to his hasty and imperfect adaptation

Before: Stored in a changing room, unused and folded
After: Worn halfway with sleeves swallowing the Doctor's new hands and fabric bunching awkwardly
