I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this, but then came this sentence: "When the bullet shatters her skull, she thinks something about someone, but the thought stops before neurons can connect again to complete it." And gave me some serious goosebumps.
For team Torchwood death is an everyday occurrence. I can imagine them getting used to it - maybe not being indifferent, but certainly moving on and trying not to dwell. It seems fitting, somehow, that Ianto be the one who truly grasps the horror and finality of death, trying to give some meaning to the ending of the innocent lives caught in the crossfire. Great work!
