You slowly sat up in the bed, rubbing your eyes a little with a small yawn. You looked around, making note of where you were and everything that had happened before you drifted off to sleep. Not a lot of it was good...

But there was something that stood out to you. It was what Cobi's mother said to you. That she was glad to have you here...and how everyone in a way looked up to you. And they would treat you like one of their own for as long as you stayed here. You didn't really know how to say it but...that meant a lot to you.

At least you weren't like some burden or an unwanted person here. Especially seeing as you were stuck for...who knew how long. And who knew how far away from the doctor and Missy and everyone else. You might have even had to stay here forever, who knew. So it was good that they wouldn't resent you for it. And in fact, they would treat you well. At least that was what you hoped.

You didn't know what to do if they started to treat you badly. The people here didn't look like they would hit you as Jason would do back on Earth. However neither did Jason at first, he looked completely normal before. He acted completely normal. He was even kind to you...gentle and caring. But it all changed...now you couldn't even recognise the man you once fell in love with. That man was long gone. You just hoped everyone here would be a lot kinder and gentler. You prayed for it, because you couldn't go through more pain. You physically couldn't take anymore of it.

As you say upright, and ran a hand through your hair, the dream replayed in your head. It seemed so real, like you were truly back on the TARDIS and doing stupid things like learning to play triangle from the doctor. Or stopping Missy from moaning about it all the time. It warmed your heart...

But it wasn't real. It was just a dream. And it only made you realise just how much you missed everyone. Your heart physically aches for them all. To be back on the TARDIS and in the comfort of Missy's arms. Or the safety of the doctor's company. Or the joy of everyone else's laughter. Ryan, Graham and Yas. Each of them were like your family, almost like siblings. You could remember all of them for you since you were sixteen years old. So long ago now.

You slowly stood up, stretching a little and waking yourself up. You looked around and raised your brows when seeing another door in your room. Well, the room you were staying in for now. Then you remember the Chief's wife saying something about Cobi's room being connected to your room.

You stared to wonder whether he was in there, not wanting to go out to find some food by yourself. You were getting quite hungry again and were way too embarrassed to look yourself. Especially after the scene you made before.

You slowly walked up to the door and knocked on it. You paused, but after not hearing a response you furrowed your brows, knocking again.

"Cobi?" You called, waiting for a response, but not hearing one.

Perhaps he was asleep? Or maybe not even in his room. With that thought you reached your hand forward and turned the nob of the door, opening it up. You slowly peaked your head in, looking around before sighing when seeing there was no one in there. The room was completely vacant and empty. Then again it was only around lunch time here, coming close to dinner.

You were about to leave when a thought crossed your mind. This was the room that that little baby boy you held in your arms two years ago, grew up in. This was where he would have spent a lot of time. You couldn't help but feel a little curious. What did he like to do in his free time? What was his favourite colour? Maybe you could find out a lot more about him from the room.

You stepped inside the room at that, leaving the door open behind you while you started to walk around. The room was...kind of simple. The colours of the walls were a bright green, which surprised you. You do dan t usually see that colour around in a bedroom.

You walked over to a chest that was in the corner of the room, quietly opening it up. You lifted up the lid and your eyebrows raised in surprise at what you saw.

They were toys. Loads of little toys. There were wooden carved animals and different kinds of things in here. The soft toy was the wolf, not to your surprise. That must have been the one he used as a teddy bear or something to sleep with. You couldn't help but smile in response, though there was some heaviness in your chest. You wished you could have bought your child things to play with. Little toys he would have slept with at night.

You sighed at that, putting the toy wolf back down into the chest, walking over to his bedside table. You immediately saw something that caught your eye, something Karmilla and Cobi told you about having.

It was the picture of Cobi's parents that you drew for him when he was a baby upon the TARDIS. They were being honest when they said he literally had it framed up in his room. He must have looked at that every night. Maybe he wondered what happened to them. Before you explained of course. Though some things still confused you about that night. Like how Sara knew white you were before you had even met her.

It made you a little sad. There was so much loss of life around you...all the time.

"I see you've found your way into Cobi's room" a voice suddenly spoke from behind you.
