Summary: The reason why.
The terror of it is right with him, the fear of what losing her a second time will do to him. But even as the weight in the bottom of his stomach makes its presence felt, he forces himself to acknowledge that this is how it must be. It’s best this way. Now all he has to do is convince himself, and there’s for ever to do it in.
He loves her more than everything in the universe put together, and he knows he has to love her enough to let her go.
Without him, she’ll never become collateral damage.

I was still numb when I wrote this. Then I got angry. Right now, in denial, still (nice place, here. bit warm, mind)
But yes - it makes sense.
In his head, maybe. Not in mine ;)

Yeah, tell me about it. *hugs*
But makes so much sense.
Anything that helps make that decision make more sense is a winner in my book.

Yeah, I can’t imagine his mind is giving him much, if any, let-up on this.

Does that mean we can blame Davros for this? Sounds like a good idea to me!
