[His tone is almost fond, but then he feels her stiffen in his arms, hears her breath stop and it's like his world is ending all over again.
He screams, presses his face into her shoulder and sobs. No. No. Not Oswin too, not his perfect snarky girl who understood him so well, who let herself into his bed just to calm him down from a nightmare, who was so alive and beautiful even in her broken way. The Doctor cradles her in his arms and begs her to come back, he can't lose her, not her too...
When Jenny finds them, he's still holding her tightly, staring blankly at her face and covered in her blood. Gentle touches and a soft voice are all he needs, and he obeys his daughter's suggestions without question, finally straightening up and carrying Oswin back with him to the TARDIS.
He brushes off Jenny's attempts to be reassuring. Laying Oswin's body down gently on a bed in the medical wing, he pulls up a chair and sits down beside her.]
I want to be alone with her. [He tells Jenny, and his voice is so lifeless and flat that it breaks her hearts but she leaves him be.
Jenny cries but she doesn't let him see it. Please, please let the regenerations take.]
