[ Whoever this Nicky is, the Doctor already feels a strange sort of distant fondness to, despite having never met him.

It isn't always true, of course, and the Doctor isn't sure he quite believes it either, not when he can go backwards and forwards in time and change things in most situations. And the circumstances for things happening with no discernible explanation, those mysteries he can't quite unravel ... he isn't sure there is always a reason. But it's nice to think to try. ]
