I am really enjoying this series immensely. Your description of what Rose is experiencing while healing was very effective. Her senses stripped from her other than her hearing gave this an ethereal feel.
This line hit me hard (in a good way): If the Doctor can hear the sound of worlds turning, then Rose’s world revolves around the sound of him.
I loved the fact that the Doctor gives Rose history lessons, tells her bad jokes, sings to her, relates the wonders of the universe, and tells her about Gallifrey. All the things he would tell her is he was brave enough to do so.
The end was perfection: She has listened not just to what he reveals with words, but also all that he tries to hide with them. And, in the end, all it takes is one word in the right tone of voice, and she might as well be back in that freight elevator, bleeding and dying. And lamenting (possibly even more than her own death) her own failure to tell this brilliant creature how much he was loved.
The best part is there is more! Thank you for posting.
