Murdered Scientist's White Coat

A white laboratory coat, pristine except for dark smears along the neckline, discovered crumpled in a cupboard by the Doctor during his desperate search for an exit. The coat's stiff fabric and tailored cut suggest professional use, but its association with violent bloodstains near the collar belies its original function. The Doctor recoils at the sight, recognizing the brutality of the murder as a sign that Cranleigh Hall’s genteel facade conceals lethal dangers.
