A/N: So I struggled with this one, but I'd like to thank Galadriel1010 for the suggestion which I did end up using (and also for her consistent reviews-thanks!).

'I couldn't bring myself to make the family forget Eugene's bravery.'- Captain Jack Harkness, The Torchwood Archives.
.
'Jack?'
'Yes, PC Cooper?'
'I've, uh- I've finished the report on Eugene… The Eugene case. Y'know, my take on things, what I found out. Anything that might be useful in future.'
'Can I see it?'
'…'
'…'
'…'
'Jack…'
'…Yeah?'
'Just wondering-we never spoke to his family about what happened, what they think happened when Eugene-,'
'Ascended?'
'For lack of a better word.'
'Well, what do you want me to do, Gwen?'
'I-I don't know, Jack. Thought you might've wanted to Retcon them. Thought maybe you had already.'
'… Do you want me to?'
'No! I mean-,'
'Good, me neither. Eugene's final action was saving your life. Let his family remember that, let them deal with what they think they saw.'
'That seems fair. Thanks Jack.'
'Hey, I'm not all bad.'
'…'
'Gwen?'
'Oh, sorry, I was just thinking… Imagining what it would be like to see a dead relative suddenly appear out of thin air, only to disappear again…. He looked so solid, Jack, felt like he was there. So real, so alive.'
'To all intents and purposes, he was.'
'Yeah… I guess.'
'We've started to get quite a lovely collection of Dogon Sixth eyes if you need a little perspective.'
'No way, no thanks, Jack. Think I've had enough of those for a while now.'
'You're probably right.'
'Oh, I am… Wow, I'm tired… Should probably go now, shouldn't I? 'Night, Jack.'
''Night Gwen.'
