The Doctor will just skip over talking about how he'd met ghosts and how they came back 'murdery.' Because she's just given him another 'teachable moment' and if there's one thing the Doctor likes to do, is teach.
"No consequences for our actions is bad. Very bad. It leads to social breakdowns. And there's no such thing as 'Happily Ever After'. That's just a lie we tell our selves because the Truth is so hard."
The Doctor hasn't gone to Darillium yet. Hasn't met River in this body, but the truth of that statement is still true for him right now and he will repeat it until his voice falls out. He follows her down the stacks, more to see what kinds of books are her.
"I suppose all of these books came into existence with Bending. And when you read them, there's some kind of Bending that goes on. This test is going to be difficult here."
Because how will they know if things are wrong because of Bending, or because of the dream states. Well. To be fair it doesn't matter. Such Bending doesn't exist in their universe that he knows of, and Bending itself is something that happens in dream states.
