John will grow up to be a model.

Though still without even wondering what it could be.

……That is not how you type.

In which John and Rose have a lengthy discussion about everything we already knew. Extremely useful. John’s meteor was the biggest one. Umhhh…

WE’VE NEVER SEEN HER ACTUALLY STARTLED OR SURPRISED BY ANYTHING, AND YET SUCH A SIMPLE INQUIRY, NOT EVEN IN AN ACCUSING TONE, BUT IN THAT SILLY, MISCHIEVOUS WAY OF JOHN, THROWS HER IN A LOOP. IT’S BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT TO SMOOCH HER.

Awww, and in the end, even if it doesn’t seem so at first look, they all care quite a lot about each other.

She was set on not making anyone, not even the reader, see what she wanted to give him before it was finished.

John, after hearing Rose’s pretty dumb justification of her behavior, picks up on her distress AND IMMEDIATELY REASSURES HER.

HE COULD TELL HER IT WAS ALL IN HER HEAD, BUT DOES NOT SAY IT IN THOSE TERMS, BECAUSE SAYING IT BLUNTLY LIKE THAT WOULD BE OUTRAGEOUS TO SOMEONE LIKE ROSE, WHO SEEMS TO RELY A LOT ON MIND AND INTUITION.

John is a gift to humanity. Too bad humanity is ending as they speak.
