The Doctor holds his palm out for a moment towards the shut door, though he knows if he opens it up again, the city will be gone along with the angel and his chance to see Amy and Rory again. He has a feeling there won't be another such chance for some time. When he banishes the icy rage from his heart (burning it down to the bottom of his soul), he looks to the man standing with him. "Thirties," he says, heavily. "Right before the war."

A war that Rory and Amy have both lived through, in different ways, in their own ways, once already. Rory guarding the Pandorica and Amy in Churchill's bunkers. His glorious Ponds.
