[Because this is Marsh, because he is everything he is and has been, she touches him - the most careful surface contact - and shows him what it was. A TARDIS isn't exactly alive, but it's very far from simply being a thing. It's more of a process, Iris' own personal golden needle that could thread her into the tapestry of any reality. Its existence was part of hers and vice versa; without her it would lose cohesion, disperse its essence back into the fabric of wider existence. Without it, she's lost and stranded, an unbalanced fish out of water.]
