No Doctor, I am. Nothing will change that fact. And no matter how many people you choose to surround yourself with, you will always remain alone in the end.
And you're wrong, I didn't come here because I was scared. I came here hoping if you knew, if you changed just a little, that it could be prevented. Or that it won't hurt as badly when it does...they don't deserve your pity or your pain, Doctor. They never have.
[He tries to jerk back immediately, but the other's a bit stronger than he looks, bringing the other stumbling forward as he tugs him close. Still, he struggles a little, managing to get out of his grip though he doesn't back away.]
I can't stay here. It was never part of the plan, Doctor. So you're right, you aren't going anywhere, but I am.
[He tensed at the mention of Rose again, but brushed it off, too conflicted at the moment to deny any of that, even when it came to the companions. Even though he wanted to shout back they they'd just die in the end, and then what? What good was a love so easily lost?]
I've never lost faith in myself, Doctor. It's the rest of the universe I don't believe in anymore. All you ever wanted was to help, but the minute things go wrong, the minute danger appears, they oh so readily throw you away...Why should I have faith in that?
[He takes a step back from the other, his expression unreadable as he regains himself.]
