[There are rather dark circles under this Doctor's eyes, but he carries on as if he's not exhausted. As always, he's leaning forward. At attention.]
First, I want to say that I'm quite proud of the efforts in Alfheim. You really pulled together as teams. Not only did you have excellent leadership, but everyone kept their heads. Pat yourselves on the back if you didn't blister it.
Second: I'm going to talk a bit about love and loss. Hot topics these days, seems like.
It hurts, and you know that. Someone who made you feel you could be anything, someone you've been through hell and high water with, someone you couldn't imagine being without...they're gone. Forever, I suppose, with the whole business of memory erasure. Even if you find 'em again, they won't remember anything you've been through here. And if you leave, neither will you. You know, but you can't change a thing about the future.
And it hurts, doesn't it? It all starts to feel pointless. You want to slam the door shut and leave it all behind. Trust me, I've done quite enough of that for several lifetimes.
But when you realise that nothing, absolutely nothing can last forever, you can see it for what it is. For just a while, things shined a little brighter. And as long as you're here, you can carry that with you. Lend a hand to others here and there. And maybe, if you let yourself remember what they were pushing you for, what they believed you could be?
You can be fantastic.
...and in case anyone who knows us hasn't quite figured it out, yes, that means Rose is gone. No, I'm not being stupid about it this time.

What can I say? I'm just wired to appreciate the company of a good rival. Probably the demon in me.
[Or, the whole 'joining a team of vigilantes with a bad habit of forming rivalries with a lot of would-be villains.]

That's something you'd want to hang onto, yeah.

This isn't something I'd admit to him, but I... don't know that I can really find a way to keep him here. Before I dreamed of home, I was trying, but I doubt Ran can really do it. I'll try, anyway I can. I don't see any reason why not. I'll live a lot longer than him after all... but I don't think I can.
And when that day comes, if I remember and we don't both leave at the same time, it might get ugly. I've never taken loss well. But I'll cope.
You certainly seem to be doing ok.

I don't think it will work.

I've got no choice but to go back...but I wish you luck.
