Donna tracked the Doctor down to a small kitchen tucked away near the TARDIS's library. He was sitting at the table, nursing a cup of tea.

"Is there enough for two? I could murder a cuppa."

There was no response.

"Oi, spaceman!"

Finally, he lifted his head, blinking sadly at Donna through the steam rising from his cup.

Pulling up a chair, Donna sat down. "There's no use sitting here brooding; you did what you had to. Can't save everyone all the time, right?"

"If I'd got there sooner…"

"You saved a lot of people."

"Three died."

"And ninety-five didn't."
