   Summary

   He saved her from execution—but only to lock her away in a cold, empty Vault with no food, no water, and no way out. As days stretch into suffering and silence, Missy begins to wither, caught between life and death, while the Doctor tells himself this is what must be done. But when he finally returns, he is forced to face a terrible truth: was this mercy, or something far crueler?
