I lower my mental shields as Abe places a cool, webbed hand against my face. The memories sweep over us at the same time and I do my best to condense them into flashes so Abe doesn't drown in them.
Flash: Two boys running the older one screaming Gray, Gray after he drops the younger one's hand.
Flash: Me as a younger man watching a blue box fade before my eyes, heartbroken.
Flash: Bits from my hundred years on Earth.
Flash: Meeting Ianto, Tosh and Gwen, Suzie shooting herself.
Flash: A brief glimpse of the Master, before I slam a mental door on that.
Flash: John, Hart, Gray, Tosh and Owen dying.
Flash: Steven, the Hub exploding, pain, Alice screaming, Ianto saying I love you.
Finally Abe pulls away and we both are shaking. "I'm sorry," I manage.
