I can imagine, on the very day he knows River has gone to The Library, the Doctor flies the TARDIS and lands right down in the datacore. And he steps outside and there’s River - in the process of hooking herself up to the mainframe, preparing herself to die - and a past version of himself, unconscious and handcuffed to the wall. And the Doctor - the current Doctor, HER Doctor - will walk over to her and take her face in his hands, and she’ll say “There’s nothing you can do. You shouldn’t even be here, you could wake up at any moment. You need to go.” and, his voice cracking, he’ll reply:

“I can’t let you die…without knowing you are loved.” 

HOLY SHIT.
