[ A beat--she's worryingly playing with the paper bow tie she's made ever since the Doctor disappeared, and with a lick of her lips she's speaking again, eyes darting down to something on her lap. ]

It's funny. This list--it's amused. Laughing at us. I don't--I don't like it. And that's not everyone on the list. It's a fraction of it.

Not of the information, of course; rather to people's reactions therein. There's been an impressively quiet uproar that's sure to go heeded in all of this.

I should have thought that was obvious.
