[The Doctor isnβt fairing any better, feeling the tears prick by the corners of his eyes. River is right. This isnβt fair. Not for her. She has travelled across the universe with all her brilliance and fiery passion. Only for her to lay rest behind a series of complex coding and algorithms so the Doctor (selfishly) may never say goodbye to her.
His mind lingers to that time in The Library. Those last moments where he was handcuffed and unable to stop River from sacrificing herself. Her last words to words the Doctor:
You watch us run.]
I still am.
[The Doctorβs thumb massages the centre of his palm, slowly walking to approach her closely.]
Do you really think I would ever measure the length of who you areβwho we are only by the pages of a book? [He stops in place.] River Songβ¦
[Despite all the sorrow within his two hearts, his eyes remain reassuring to her.]
