Rescuer
He was the most beautiful man Toshiko had ever seen.
Outlined in bright light in the doorway, he made her think of gods and heroes. A saviour in a greatcoat.
When they talked in the interrogation hall, she was distracted by his friendly smile. How long was it since she had seen anyone smile?
She had trouble breathing, or even concentrating. He was not a lawyer, not military, so how could he offer her freedom? Was this a trick to get more information? Was he one of her captors?
No, he was something else.
He was something called "Torchwood".

Date: 2008-06-21 08:41 pm (UTC)It enhances my appreciation of an episode if I have some conversations about it before I see it. I'm not saying that I want or need to know what will happen in it; I may be saying that I like not to have to step into a room without knowing if the lights will be on or off or what color the walls and floor and ceiling will be... need some advance information in order not to get lost in accumulating the "edges" stuff like this when I do see it for myself.
Today, Saturday, I'm left with very sore muscles -- hard to sit or stand up straight. It's a wonder. I hope it passes soon. At least today I think I can eat something!
