[She's trembling by the time they actually stop, eyes wide and brimming with tears. The kiss to her forehead earns her looking up at him, bewildered and confused about how this could go so far downhill so quickly. As much of a realist as Clara can be, she desperately wants to believe in the good in others. And she wants nothing more than to be good herself. Right now, she feels like a monster, one that set off the greed and darkness inside those souls.
She turned them into monsters and put herself in a position to be attacked. And she can't understand why she continues to mess up by doing this.]

[she realizes, not really knowing the truth behind the matter. Viveca's only made them appear to be souls. But what would have happened to her if she had been killed just now? She could've been taken away from the Doctor, never able to find her way back to him.
That thought makes her want to be closer to him. They're already standing directly in each other's space, but it doesn't feel close enough. There's a choked sob as she tries to muffle the sound from existing. People here feed off weakness. She hides it away and buries it in a hug, his taller form shielding her from the sight of others for just a moment more.]
