"WHAT WISH DID YOU MAKE? WHY WOULD YOU WISH FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS? ..SHE'S WEARING MY DRESS, MY SHOES."
Oswin knew one day Leto would want someone he could hold, someone he could actually be with? But this wasn't what Oswin had in mind. She was horrified by the idea. The dalek looked away, rather than watch Leto set the body on the couch.
Lovingly. Was it lovingly? Oswin didn't want to know and yet her imagination went there.
"...DO YOU? YOU KEEP ASKING AND I KEEP TELLING. SUBTRACT LOVE, ADD HATE, THAT'S A DALEK. I AM HUMAN. MY SHIP CRASHED ON THE DALEK ASYLUM AND I FENDED THEM OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. THEN THE DOCTOR CAME. I HELPED HIM AND HIS COMPANIONS ESCAPE AND DESTROYED THE PLANET IN THE PROCESS. INSTEAD OF DYING THE CITY BROUGHT ME HERE."
Oswin wanted to leave, but was not yet willing to ram down the exit door. Instead, the dalek hovered into the next room, if only to put a little more space between itself and the doppelganger.
