He tries not to argue with her, not after that first day. He tries to help her as best he can. It’s a privilege, to witness this miracle, and he doesn’t think he’ll ever stop being grateful that she’s letting him help. Letting him be around her, letting him experience these last few months with her. The final flare of a candle before it goes out.
The galaxy is improving. The universe is improving. Inch by inch, minute by minute, Rose is making lives better. She’s improving situations. She’s helping people in a way that no one else ever could.
He’ll never stop being grateful for knowing her. She is precious, a completely unique star that will never be seen again. He’s watching her go supernova, and it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. It’s the most terrible thing he’s ever seen. It’s Rose, and she’s burning out.
(or, rose takes in the power of bad wolf one last time. the doctor observes.)
