💭 video; @b.potts

[ The video opens on a small silver canister, one of the update canisters that came to Bill from the Portal HQ. She keeps the camera steady, narrating over it, ] Inside this can are my memories... Well, my future memories. My future.

[ She turns the camera around, showing herself looking uncertain. ]

I open that, and I'll change. I'll remember new things, I'll age. I don't know how far into my future it goes. I've been to the future, just... never my own.

I suppose my question is... [ She switches the camera around, back to the canister. ] ...Do I open it?

I've seen a lot of futures. Sometimes you just have to know and move on.

what if it's not the sort of thing you can move on from?

I think that's up to you than the memories.

the world I left... it wasn't grand. I wanted to change it, but I didn't know how.

I don't want to see years of being stuck in a world like that.

But you're also not stuck right now? Maybe you can find a way of changing it from here.

I don't have the things I need.

[ She doesn't have the TARDIS. She doesn't have the Doctor. ]

But you still have you. You get to look at the memories instead of being stuck in them.

I'll still change. if something happens to me in the memories, it happens to me here.

But you're not alone, right? You still have friends. People who care and will help you.

You may not have everything, but you have something.

[ It's been Jon's mantra in Riverview lately. He may not have his parents anymore, but he's not alone. ]
