Vampire Bite Marks on Romana's Neck

Pale, crescent-shaped puncture wounds on Romana's neck bear the unmistakable marks of vampire teeth, stark against her alabaster skin. The twin incisions remain unscabbed—too fresh to have drawn blood properly, too precise to be accidental. Romana remains unaware as the vampires' attack registers only as discomfort, her Gallifreyan physiology struggling to process the foreign violation. The marks serve as silent testimony to the cult's sudden unraveling when the Doctor's plan collapsed their immortality.
