Disclaimer: Doctor Who is not my playground, but it is a wonderful sandbox to play in.
Summary: He clings to his inaction and its potential of unexplored opportunities like a man with cabin fever clinging to a shaft of sunlight sneaking through the crack between a window and its ledge. Somehow that crack is preferable to opening and closing a door, that trickle of perpetual possibility far better and worse for his hearts. It is a dangerous illusion, hope, and he hurtles towards it even as he flees.
