Nyssa spots Doctor clinging to cliff

The fragile cliffside sapling bends precariously under the Doctor’s weight as he clings to it and the adjacent boulder, its thin trunk serving as the only temporary anchor between him and the ravine below. Its fragile state mirrors his own stability, threatening to fail at any moment.

Before: Intact, rooted tenuously in crumbling cliffside soil, previously unnoticed by the Doctor until he grasped it in desperation.

After: Possibly damaged or uprooted further by the Doctor’s weight and the precarious angle, its survival uncertain as the scene ends.
