Doctor's Extracted Cotton Wool Plugs

The Doctor removes bloodied plugs of cotton wool from Burton’s ears, their fibers darkened with dried flakes of dark matter residue. These crude auditory barriers were shoved into Burton’s ears during Delta’s daughter’s sonic scream — a desperate attempt to shield his hearing from the weaponized frequency. Now stained and crumpled, they lie in Burton’s palm, mute evidence of the attack and the Doctor’s improvisational aid.
