Bianca listens, not so much politely as avidly. Amata's story reminds her of the Doctor, who also claimed to have turned his back on his position.
"And do you, in fact, live that life? Have they wanted you back, since you left? What would you do if they did?"
The Doctor has taught her that one cannot walk easily away from responsibilities written into one's bone marrow. He may call himself outcast, but he still polices time travel with the unthinking, reflexive Gallifreyan authority that wiped her unhesitatingly out of existence. She makes a mental note to discuss this with Koschei, after the flood, because it makes her feel sharply murderous.
