Summary: The most painful scars are the ones on the inside.

Dressing
The mirror shows him what Van Statten’s little machine did: purplish bruises all over his wrists, and red splotches on his chest where the rays burned his skin.
He was the lucky one, though. Of all Van Statten’s prisoners - and he includes the man’s employees in that count - he’s one of the few who got out alive.
Another enemy faced down; another abomination destroyed. And he’s not entirely sure he means the Dalek.
Footsteps along the corridor make him pull his jumper on quickly to hide the evidence.
