Clara’s breath caught. The man was wearing the same clothes as the reflection. And on his jacket was a patch: a stylized code wheel with the word .

The man was wearing the same clothes as the reflection

"You’ve been watching from the dark for so long, Clara. But a remaster doesn't just restore the image. It restores the truth. And the truth is, the viewer is always the final scene."
