Rose watches as Adam rolls under the closing barrier and tries to run faster, tries to follow him -- but then it's all locked down and she's not quite there. And when the Doctor asks where she is, she tries to stay calm as she apologises for being "a bit slow."

Still holding the phone, she turns to watch as the Dalek rounds the corner and approaches. She waits for the terror to hit, the blind panic that'll make her break down and scream and react. But it doesn't, and she's not quite sure whether this numb feeling is better or not.

"See you then, Doctor," she tells him quietly, facing the door again. She needs to reassure him, because he still has to go on, and he can't waste time worrying about her, can he? "It wasn't your fault, remember that, okay? It wasn't your fault."

And with a deep breath, almost slipping, almost breaking down: "Y'know what? I wouldn't have missed it for the world."
