Donna tracked the Doctor down to a small kitchen tucked away near the TARDIS’s library. He was sitting at the table, nursing a cup of tea.
 

“Is there enough for two? I could murder a cuppa.”

 
There was no response.
 

“Oi, spaceman!”
 

Finally, he lifted his head, blinking sadly at Donna through the steam rising from his cup.
 

Pulling up a chair, Donna sat down. “There’s no use sitting here brooding; you did what you had to. Can’t save everyone all the time, right?”

 
“If I’d got there sooner…”

 
“You saved a lot of people.”
 

“Three died.”
 

“And ninety-five didn’t.”
 

 
The End
