Summary Inspiration: At the end of Parting of the Ways the Doctor talks awfully like he's never going to see Rose again, for someone who's going to want her to realize that he's the same man when the new face comes. Most of this had been composed for some time before the idea of the framing sequence came to me. I didn't know initially whether it ought to be a framing sequence or a part two of two or what, but it gives the piece an ending whereas previously it just sort of stopped.
