[Clara steps out of the TARDIS. She's in a barn. On a raised platform in the corner is a straw bed. A boy is crying under a blanket. Clara approaches the end of the bed]
Rupert?
[She climbs the stairs]
[stands next to the bed] Orson?
[boy doesn't respond, just keeps crying.]
[A man and a woman enter the barn]
Why does he have to sleep out here?
He doesn't want the others to hear him crying.
Why does he have to cry all the time?
[Clara hides under the bed]
You know why.
There'll be no crying in the army.
Hush.
[They approach the bed. the boy is still crying]
Don't pretend you're not awake, we're not idiots.
Come and sleep in the house. You don't have to be alone. If you can hear me, you're very welcome in the house, with the other boys. I'll leave the door on the latch. Come in any time.
He can't just run away crying all the time if he wants to join the army!
He doesn't want to join the army, I keep telling you!
Well, he's not going to the Academy, is he, that boy? He'll never make a Time Lord!
