"Tell me about the stars you see. Anything stand out? Anything specific?" He could pinpoint a region, he could figure out where she was calling from, maybe then he could---
But Reinette was dead. He still had her note, tucked away in one of his boxes where he'd only look at it if he really wanted to feel sad. And right now he wasn't supposed to be thinking sad thoughts. He had the end of his regeneration to think about, after all. All the same, he found himself pulling up the grate in the console room, and going to the box labeled 'R'. Her letter sat on top, the last thing he'd placed in that box.
