[ This isn't an easy message to send, but Clara knows the Doctor was fond of Hermione, and so she wants to tell her personally, rather than let her find out on her own. ]
I'm sorry to drop in with a message out of the blue like this. But I thought you should know that the Doctor isn't here anymore. I think we both went home and only one of us came back, but I can't know for sure.
[ This is definitely going to be done through tears. ]
[ It's never a good day when these things happen - people leaving without notice - but Hermione can't presume to be entitled to any explanation or apology from their side, since they're all trying to get home.
She's not being left behind. She can't be sad over it - leaving is part of the journey.
It must be hard on Clara, who just went through the whole efforts to not deal with thinking about the Doctor but a few days ago (and also, literature) but here she is now, delivering a message. ]
Thank you for telling me. Usually you can tell if the messages to them do not reach any destination. I've experienced it before.
Are you alright, Clara? Do you need anything I can help with?
I debated whether or not to tell you the rest, because the Doctor is still out there. But the one you knew, he's doesn't exist anymore. He's gone. I don't know if it's right or wrong to tell you, but he liked you, so much. He respected you, and I thought you should know.
