Russell's Small Torch

A compact, cylindrical metal flashlight with a bright but narrow beam, its body worn smooth from frequent use. Russell grips it tightly, directing its focused light to trace the sewer walls as the group moves in tense silence. The torch’s sudden extinguishment by the Doctor plunges them into darkness, amplifying the sense of peril as the Cyberman’s metallic silhouette becomes visible at the tunnel’s end.
