Why you should read it: There are only so many people left that remember that year. Martha has Jack, who doesn't talk about it, and her family, who she wishes didn't have to remember it, and the Doctor, who's not here and can't fix that part. And there's people she met in that year that don't remember and can't and will never know how or why she already seems to know them. Martha isn’t sure whether Tom Milligan represents her adjustment or her dysfunction. This story takes us through her first meetings with Jack's team, both times, and how she struggles to keep this all together in her own mind without going insane.
