Rose and the Eleventh Doctor came racing in. The former stopped still. “Not you, again!”
“Ah, good!” exclaimed Eleven, stopping Rose's rant. “Your timing is perfect. Unusual for us, isn't it?”

“But she wanted to possess you,” Eight voiced aloud, guessing more than he wanted to. “You even risked acting like we have more than just our small remaining family on Gallifrey.”
Eleven would not look him in the eye. He simply kept looking at where Rose had last been in their universe. “She never respected me. She wouldn't even respect her mother in the end. Not for a little bit. Poor Jackie. If only she and Pete can make Rose listen now that she has to stay with them.”
“You don't sound hopeful.”
“Just... a sense. Based on what little I think I remember.”
