Summary
Why now? Yaz wants to ask. Why would you give me hope? Why not in China? Why not in Manchester?
The Doctor takes a step forwards, reaching. Yaz steps back. “I came back.”
And it’s almost broken; it’s almost sorrowful. And Yaz nearly breaks; nearly jumps into her arms and clings to her, like she’s wanted to do for years now.
(And, in the back of her mind, fierce in its intensity—Why do you only ever want me when it’s too late?)
Then, the Doctor’s expression goes blank; unreadable. Yaz can see her—stacking those walls sky high; retreating and fleeing and shutting down and she laughs.
Nothing’s changed.
Yaz scoffs. “Four years too late.”
After four years apart, the Doctor re-enters Yaz's life right as she starts to get her life back together. Things go about as well as expected (not very).
