The Daleks had frightened him. Those soulless creatures were instrumental in destroying everything he had loved. Now a single survivor had threatened to destroy what he now loved. Rose Tyler was sleeping; the day had truly taken its toll and she was exhausted. The Doctor resisted looking in on her as he walked by her door on his way to the library. He needn't have worried. Her bedroom door opened and she came out. Pajamas, messy hair and all. She came to him wordlessly and cried; sobbed, really. He realized that one human girl would cry his tears for him.
