It doesn't matter how badass I am, how many people I save, how much I know I'm doing the right thing.


Deep down, I still feel like a failure.

Don't I know that feeling.

I think at some point, you just have to force yourself to stop keeping score or you'll go insane.

I guess so.

I've got a lot of issues, if you couldn't tell. Probably makes me perfect for Torchwood, right?

I don't actually actively screen for it, but I'm pretty sure by now that having a fucked up past is some kind of hidden prerequisite for joining Torchwood.

I try not to think too hard on what that says about us.

probably that people who can do the jobs that you do generally don't become who they are without some trauma.

Probably not, no. Despite our name, Torchwood's true work lies in the shadows. People with happy pasts generally don't feel comfortable walking the paths we have to walk to accomplish that work.
