[ Now, what would Vanessa want if the roles were reversed? She has been in the Doctor's position; she has fought against a greater menace than a grief-stricken paladin. But that was a battle she fought her entire life... The Doctor's gall at suggesting he knows better than her in matters of possession only irks her. He can't have thought this through, and she won't let his reckless need for sacrifice lead to an even worse mistake.
There are people fighting and dying in the distance, and he means to do what with it? Nothing she can allow. ]
Then stop resisting me! This spirit seeks death. Are we not to pass by death hand-in-hand?
[ If she's hurt again, it will be because of falsehoods and hubris.
If he thinks he can overcome it, then it won't be with a weapon in hand. He must first be restrained. Were the roles reversed and the spirit wanted her to harm those that she normally never would, she would want to be stopped, so there's pinpoint determination in how she once again grabs for his wrists. ]
