Epilogue -- Faith
When he got outside, he found Kyra kneeling at the edge of Angela's garden, murmuring prayers.
"Even after all you've seen, you've still kept your faith?"
She crossed herself, then smiled. "Do you remember, the night you took me to Tommy's?"
"Of course."
"I asked you, if they were in Heaven." She smiled. "You looked me right in the eye -- and you lied, of course, but that wasn't the point. You promised me that they were."
"I was just about to congratulate you."
"On what? Keeping my faith? I'm not holding you to your promise, Doctor. It's everything I've seen, everything you've shown me -- that's why I still believe. Yeah, there are some bloody horrible things. But there's so much else to make up for it."
"I made the promise, because, at the time, I was unsure. For all we know, it could be true. And that's something worth holding on to."
"She was at peace. For the first time in...so long, she was at peace. She'd suffered enough, for having done everything she could to help. And I felt her pass. She's gone on, Doctor. And I hope...wherever she is, she gets to see things almost as spectacular as what you showed her."
"So do I. So do I."
