Torrential rain hammers the TARDIS console, casting rippling blue light across the room. The Tenth Doctor stands motionless, his expression frozen in sudden revelation. An impossible warmth blooms against his chest—a ghostly pressure he hasn’t known since his homeworld fell. His hands clutch the lapels of his coat, feeling the unmistakable imprint of an embrace and the faint, desperate whispers of a heart giving up. The connection is alive. His soulmate is out there, drowning in sorrow. He stares at his empty palms, then lifts his gaze toward the time vortex, resolve etching itself into every line of his face.
