You were tortured? [She just instantly gives him a hug, because Rose. Intellectually she knows that being a tortured soul in hell should in theory make him a pretty bad person who "deserved" it, but given Rose's personal vendetta with Satan and her own private tell the last few years, youd have a time convincing her. Besides, for all her fear of them killing tte Doctor, she'd still willingly hug a dalek. Rose Tyler.]
[She giggles at the nickname, and nods!]<
Yeah, my friend's mortal enemies with them. They murdered his whole people, his planet, he was the only survivor. First one I met, I accidentally healed, because they were torturing it.
[Her stomach feels sick.] Humans, I mean. There was this American bloke who said he owned the internet, and he collected everything to do with aliens, so he considered it his prize possession. Made the same mistake you did, almost everyone does. They're not robots. They're little octopus mutants that are trapped inside those tanks the minute they're created. Bred for war. I killed their Emperor, but...
[Facepalm.] I nearly destroyed the universe and myself in the process? So kinda not allowed to do that again.
The one I healed couldn't kill me. It took too much of me and I guess started fighting against its biology or programming. I convinced it to do something other than killing, but then it hated itself and didn't want to exist as the only one of its kind.
And my friend... [She kind of huddles into hugging herself.] I get scared he'll be like that some day. [A quiet near whisper.] Just give up the fight of living. He's so old, and so alone...
[And there was a great deal of heavy trauma in having found him dead repeatedly, even if she's trying to make sure that won't be what happens in his universe.]
