She smiles at her friends. It had been months. They're travelling. She remembers. But she remembers what happened with the Master as well. She takes them home. She has too. They'll be safe at home. And she'll be fine on her own.

She's selfish.
She's terrified.
She can't handle being alone.

Their adventures continue.

She can't admit to the that she's terrified.

But she can't bare to be awake.
So she runs.
Because it's what she's best at.
