Jack's childhood life seemed to flash before his eyes. The creatures that always passed the planet by. They never knew why. Never knew why they stayed away until that day that they just didn't. Until they appeared on that horrible day he lost both his brother and his father.
And it was him. It was now. He did that. His words here, now, held them back.
He looked to the Doctor, a little like he'd been winded. It was a shock. But then when he processed it? It wasn't bad, was it? His doing this held the creatures back. Could it be that he was truly saving his own planet? If only for a while.
"Four years," Jack repeated back, an echo. "Of course."
He looked back up. "Thank you," he said, most emphatically. "Thank you, I'll remember this."
And then again, he looked to the Doctor. "It was me. They stayed away because of me."
