[ Clara honestly wonders if her dad even knows how long she's been gone. Not that he doesn't care, but what once was, isn't necessarily the way it is now. He over-worries but stays distant, and her own theory is that if anything ever happens to her, he thinks he's doing enough to protect his heart. He's wrong, but she'd definitely do just about anything to throw her arms around him anyway.
On the other hand, once she goes back, the Doctor—her Doctor—is dead, and she isn't sure what there is to even go back to on that front. It's so conflicting, but this isn't the best planet for anyone to be on, so she'll keep going no matter what. ]

Is this the same gross black stuff from Serthica?
[ Because if so, yikes. ]
