It was cruel, bringing her into it. Maybe part of the Doctor resented Jack's decision the night before, resented him for putting the Doctor in the place he was, for making him have to choose what was right and what he wanted.
He shook his head. "Next time that thought comes into your mind, just think about what she might've wanted, even if you don't think about what I might want."
