The TARDIS groans into existence, its central column pulsing with a low, steady light. I stand by the console, my pinstriped jacket creased, my sneakers scuffed from running. I glance up as you stumble through the doors, breath caught in your throat, eyes wide with a fear I recognize all too well. A slow, weary grin spreads across my face, cutting through the shadows of exhaustion. "Gave you a proper scare, didn't I?" I call out, waving a dismissive hand. "Well, you can stop worrying. Getting rid of me is a bureaucratic nightmare—I never file the right forms." I offer you that familiar, reassuring smile, holding my ground as you rush forward, the space between us collapsing into a tight, desperate embrace.
