Hah, the Master wins again. But it's a good kind of win, for once.
Yes, exactly. :) Although he had to actually beg, which cost him a awful lot! (And I loved having him throw The Doctor's words back at him! *g* I'm evil that way.)

I thought you'd enjoy this part especially, after I read your post - and I love the idea of The Doctor almost being overwhelmed by the futility of life when looking in the Schism.

Thank you muchly for finishing this.
My pleasure - although, there's more!!! (The epilogue is hugely, vastly different though. I hope you'll like!)
