"Just...when the time comes? However it takes, remember this. Remember I'm still here. Still alive, and still fightin'." It didn't mean anything to him now, she was sure, but one day it would.

And...th'most important thing, Doctor? I'm never givin' up. I'm not stopping until I fix things again, so don't you give up. Not on me, and not on you." She offered a smile that was...almost apologetic. "Can y'please remember that for me? And...I'll see ya around, Doctor. One day, yeah?"
