Torchwood has strange effects on faith.

It doesn't help you with the things like faith in God or faith in the greater good-- or even faith in humanity. Now, faith in the existence of things beyond your wildest dreams, it does that-- but what you don't realize at first is that your wildest dreams leave you screaming and afraid to sleep again.

For a while, I thought faith was following the man who drew me in. O Captain, my Captain.

I was wrong. It screws you up, Torchwood.

Now I know: the only person who deserves my faith is me.
