AGH POTENTIAL ROSE MARTYRING. D:
(and of course, I'm pretty sure I commented on the last chapter, "oh well, at least her version of being a martyr is just going to live with her parents, not something stupid and dangerous like the Doctor would have done!")

Wonderful and sad as always. Very curious as to what she's going to leave on his machine. Jackie was awesome in this chapter, as she often is.

Also:“That’s like him, isn’t it? Out with the old, find someone new.”
I always forget that the Doctor is not the only one with unresolved emotional problems... (I find this really interesting, especially in comparison to your Blood & Anger & Revenge fic where we get to see the flip side, Cloen having to deal with Rose being gone.)

It was interesting to see the Dimension Cannon brought up. I can't decide if it would be comforting or nerve racking to have two copies of the person you loved running around the universe, especially if the one you were with died.

(And I swear this isn't my OTP instinct talking, but what kind of person dates a person who lost their memory a month ago and was involved in a long term relationship up to that point? That seems kind of sleazy and opportunistic. IDK. I do know nothing about the John/Robin relationship.)

LOLOL you did and we were very amused!

Yeah, they're both a bucket of crazy. I think Rose is generally more well-adjusted, but it's not very hard to be more well-adjusted than the Doctor.

Both, I imagine, lol. At least in Rose's case, anyway, I think that while she's with Cloen she'd feel bad for Ten, but at the same time if something ever happened to Cloen it would be very very tempting to try and find Ten to start all over again. It's not very admirable, but I think it's what she would do.

This should hopefully clear up a bit by the end of the fic.

Thanks for reading! The next part should be up relatively soon.
