#found this in my drafts and being in the middle of my doctor/river brainrot this feels like the perfect time

There is something so special about The Name of the Doctor when you think about it from River's perspective. Like, this is post library River. Right after she died with her last memory being the man she loved not knowing who she was and how she knew him. And then she finds a way to go back to him as a ghost, knowing that he can't see or hear her or interact with her in any way, except he does. And the River who thought that she would never be able to talk to the doctor again, now sees him telling her that she is always here to him and that it hurts so much to speak to her after remembering what happened in the library and then kissing her like she's oxygen and properly saying goodbye this time like they are going to see each other again and yeah I'm very not alright about this scene as you can tell
