In truth, he doesn't know. Not with any certainty, at least. Sometimes, he's thought that he did. Sometimes, he's thought that whatever this is, it must have a purpose. But other times, he's not sure he believes enough in fate for that to be true.
Except he always comes back to the things he's sure of, in his heart. The things he's sure will happen when he finds the Doctor again.
And one of them is that the Doctor will be able to tell him the things he's got left to ask.
For now, though, there's only one of his burning questions left, but it's the one he's had in his heart for so long, rehearsed so many times, that he can't ask it of Trance.
Because Trance isn't the right sort of Doctor.
He lets her give him the jabs he's there for, and he studies her.
"I'm saving the others. For later. Unless you want to tell me how you know this, because ... I've only ever met one other person who could know the sort of stuff you know."
