Notes: Some losses are less important than others

Ianto stood at the edge of the crater, looking out over the devastation. He hadn't had time to properly process it before, too worried about watching the emergency workers trying to locate Jack.

Two weeks later, with the 456 eliminated and danger now far behind them, it felt more like a loss than a victory.

'It's all gone,' he said to no one in particular.

'We can rebuild,' Jack replied. He'd been here yesterday, inspecting the site. Most was just buried, caved in.

'It's not the same.'

'We saved the most precious things; you and Gwen. The rest doesn't matter.'
