[Doctor is in the hotel lobby, as he often is when he takes these memories. Without thinking much of it, he purchases a memory on his phone.

What plays for him is nothing he could have ever predicted. He isn't real - none of the world in his memories is real. It's only Russell's dream. And Russell asks him to put an end to that dream, and Doctor is in no place to refuse.]

...Ah, so that's what it was. [In the hotel, Doctor laughs bitterly.] So that's what it was, after all?

[This AlcheME actually chooses to take a memory on purpose and it's... fine? She's got a group with her, they're all clearly close and happy for each other.

It's warm.

...

Don't mind her just... replaying it again. Just real quick. Got to make sure she really does remember it now and all.]

Witnesses OK!

[He's drinking a mocha when he takes his memory and... Hm. Well. Still nothing too terribly unpredictable. He was dying, and Rutherford of all people had a right to see the face of the person who murdered his beloved brother one last time.

Did he actually pass on that final message...?]

Heeeh... Maybe I'll go get some high scores in the arcade.
