No other human would ever stand on this spot without a thick protective suit. This pain and this beauty were for him alone.

And once again, you've given us particularly beautiful insight into what it means to be Captain Jack Harkness.

I love the way the Doctor forces Jack into not a situation where he's forced to heal, but where he's forced to realize he's already begun healing. The dynamic between these two continues to be lovely and insightful, and I'm sorry to see it go, even though I knew where this chapter had to end. Very much looking forward to the next one!
