@Joellie @AtomykEdward didn't resist when River started attaching the thing to his ear. He knew she could be trusted. He also knew that the device did more than just relieve pain. But it was probably for the best that he would be able to shut off false memories when he wanted to... It was just still hard to believe they were false. "Right... I'll keep that in mind." he simply replied. He wasn't feeling too well about this, knowing that he hasn't been who he thought he was all this time.
When River presented him an outfit, something sparked in his mind, and a few memories reappeared. He grabbed it and held it out in front of him, staying silent for a short while. "I know whose outfit this is. I've done research on him, but I can't remember why..." Lowering it, he gave River another serious look. "He's a killer, River. Hundreds have died because of him. The deadliest member of an already incredibly deadly group of deadly people..." And you'd choose to have him over me. He felt like saying that out loud, but decided he wouldn't.
Another short silence followed, and whatever River replied to him, it seemed like he would simply have ignored it (unless it was something important). "We should move on. Find those answers we were promised."

When Edward spoke seriously, calling himself a killer through The Doctor's memories, River went silent, looking at the outfit she handed him. "You should... wear it. Because that's you. I know he has--you have--done some bad things in the past, but I still desire to give him a chance. Please let me save him. He has given me something I realized that I had lost a while ago: passion. The Doctor has given me much too--and I adore him--but he's different. The Doctor is like the sun. I feel like if I move closer to him, I'll burn into a pile of ash. He's like an fleeting, ageless god, a god who is one day going to leave me for good. If not a god, he's an angel or a saint. I'll never measure up to him. Ed may leave too for all I know, but he isn't like the sun. I can touch him and he isn't fleeting. I... love him." She went silent again, starting to walk when Edward stated they should move on.
River went silent for quite a while afterwards, feeling awkward after saying what she said. She walked a step ahead of him, avoiding eye contact; she was afraid of his reaction. She continued to walk along so they could catch up with the others or at least discover something more...
