::The consistent use of she/her pronouns in the story suggests it's all just the Thirteenth Doctor. A demonstrative example being "Fun fact about Fintleborxtug, she told herself, [...] You don’t have to tell me that, thought the Doctor tetchily to herself, I know!"

:::The fact that in the story it reads "I'm only here about 5 minutes" suggest that this is the remains of her previous self's consciousness. Like in ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story)|The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'' in which Twelve also talks to her. I know Thirteen has a habit of talking to herself, but by this exact logic we can just as easily say that in that story it was Thirteen giving advice to herself. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:19, March 26, 2020 (UTC) | :::The fact that in the story it reads "I'm only here about 5 minutes" suggest that this is the remains of her previous self's consciousness.

::::That's.. not what the Doctor says. "That's not a word, chided the Doctor. Alright, replied the Doctor, I'm only a few minutes in here - you're lucky I've got any words at all." She's saying that she's only been in this new form, this new mind, for a few minutes now, and that she shouldn't expect to be coherent at all. She's saying to herself, ''You should be grateful I can find ''any'' words to describe this'' in the first few minutes of this brand new mind exploding into existence. This is in line both with Thirteen's later characterisation, and with the many past instances of the Doctor making very little sense and forgetting how to navigate simple functions as they recover from regeneration and get used to things all over again.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 20:23, March 26, 2020 (UTC) | |||
