Ivy-clad Pillar

A massive stone pillar rising to meet the vaulted ceiling of the TARDIS Cloister Room, its surface softened by green ivy cascading downward in thick tendrils. The ivy blurs the sharp edges of ancient carvings, its leaves trembling slightly despite the room's still air. The Doctor alternates between pacing the circular path around these pillars and gripping one for support as he explains the ship's accelerating entropy.
