For the Sake of My Dreams

They've reached an uneasy truce. After nights of being woken from strange, eldritch dreams and days of wandering darkened rooms filled with lurking things, the Doctor appeals to Compassion, begs her even, for Fitz's sake. He's done nothing to you, the Doctor whispers, the words nevertheless carrying all across her vast interior. I'm to blame. In the end, Compassion grudgingly relents, shifting her console room into the light, away from her frightening subconscious. Fitz is simply relieved to no longer jolt awake, terrified, from the nightmares she inflicts. He assumes all is well. But she punishes the Doctor anyway.
