Hey! This is Max. Sorry I can't pick up right now; I'm probably snapping pictures of cute animals or something. Leave a message! Or text.

[Her voice is quiet and weary. She's not sure if her body even can physically cry anymore, or if she's just too exhausted to work up any tears.]

It's a long story.

[Oh, that is such a bullshit answer and Clara knows it. Max deserves better for all her kindness.]

I told you he lost me, but I didn't tell you- ... I didn't tell you what happened next.

[Clara takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts.]

I died, and he went too far to fix it. He put all of time and space at risk, but we both knew it was wrong. We both knew we'd destroy universes to be together, and no one should be worth that.

[Her voice constricts a little.]

We both agreed to it. It's better this way, for everyone.

I did something reckless, and neither of us could fix it. But it's okay, Max. I'm okay. We all face it in the end.

[She's spent more time reassuring people about her own death than she has thinking about it herself. It's a bit surreal.]

But he faced something worse. He was alone with his grief for a very long time, and no one should blame him for his pain. It was awful, and it hurts, but I would have done the very same in his shoes. And that's the problem. It's a risk that can't be taken.

justimprobable: (☂ it's all painted in her grief)
Longer than either of us can imagine.

[Four and a half billion years. She doesn't want to say it, not again. Saying it will make her chest clench, and her eyes sting, and she's trying to be strong here.]

And you don't need to worry about me. Truly.

He's going to need his friends right now. That's all you need to be.

You'll do great.

[And honestly Max, the Doctor is the most awkward of them all. He owns awkward.]

justimprobable: (☂ in between you and me)
I won't. I'm still looking out for you, remember? No matter what, I'll always have your back.

justimprobable: (✂︎ growing in the landscape darling)
[She just smiles in reply, even though Max can't see her.]

See you 'round, Max.

[And with that, she ends the call.]
