You’re exhausted, ready to stop running, but as you tell the Doctor, his expression shifts, darkening.

“Leave?” he repeats, a hint of a laugh. “Oh, you don’t mean that.”

You try to explain, but he steps closer, his voice turning low, almost dangerous. “I saved you, remember? Gave you the stars, gave you me. And now you want to go back to that ordinary life?”

His steps are slow towards you. Tap. Tap. Tap. His hands snap, And there it goes.

You hear the TARDIS doors lock. The realization settles in: you’re trapped, and his gaze is your new world.
