He was not a good man.

The Doctor knew this fact quite well. Even before the Time War, before he ended it all, he hadn't been a good man. He hadn't been innocent. But never had he heard the dead scream and felt their pain in his mind as it happened. That kind of pain, followed by emptiness, hardened him. The War hardened him. And on the rare occasions that he slept, those screams haunted him.

Tonight, however, he did not weep from the pain, but because he was not innocent.

And now, because of him, neither was Rose Tyler.
