[Lockon's own hands were curled into white-knuckled fists, and if he hadn't been wearing gloves his nails would have been cutting into his palms at the reminder of the Doctor's Mars breakdown. To remember the incident which had left him feeling so angry and betrayed, and which had coloured his final interactions with the Doctor, to remember that now just added fuel to an already raging fire. Somewhere in the back of his mind, the sane and sensical part of him heard the emphasis on he and connected it with Tieria's previous almost priestlike devotion to Veda, but he was far too furious to give it any more consideration than that. He practically spat his next words out.]
If you believed that bullshit he was saying on Mars, Tieria, if you agreed with any part of that and thought he was in the right, then you're the fool - and the Doctor would tell you the same thing!
And even if it was, even then, even the Time Lord Victorious is still just a Time Lord! You heard him talk about regeneration, that's how they survive, they don't just magically live on because they're good people! And he's done it before, if you needed any more proof of his mortality, he's died and regenerated before! [Fisted or not, his hands were shaking.] You want to believe he survived? The best case scenario is that some stranger with his name and his memories and NOTHING ELSE is walking around right now!
[He made a movement as if he'd been going to grab Tieria, and controlled himself enough to think the better of it at the last second, turning it into a sort of violent sweep of his arm to the side that seemed to indicate the entire situation.] You think I'm happy about this? You think any of us wanted this? You think we took the easy explanation? He's not coming back if you deny hard enough, Tieria! You can't control everything and everyone no matter how hard you try to, least of all death!
