Summary
“You don’t have to forgive me,” Angela tells him. “You don’t have much reason to, and you can never bother with me again after this, if you’d prefer that. But I won’t give up on this - on us - without at least trying to, to make amends.”
Wesley huffs out half a chuckle, turning back to face her. “Fine.” He says. “You get one minute, that’s it. So state your case, Lopez.”

Summary
Carlos takes a step towards him, reaching out deftly, hesitantly, to wipe the blood from his face. It smears across his thumb, and TK wants to apologise for it - for staining Carlos’ pretty white rug red - but he bites his tongue.
“How,” Carlos whispers, “did you end up like this?”
TK bites down harder. He can feel something burning under his skin, like when his senses spike and make his hair stand on end; only, more poignant. More desperate. He senses his own longing, there every time he sees Carlos but louder now as his heart screams to be honest with him. He looks away, instead, shakes his head, mutters something about it being a stupid story, that he’d never believe him, anyway. And Carlos laughs.
“Don’t tell me you were playing superhero.”

Summary
One second, TK is fighting him off. Pushing him back. Gaining the upper hand. The next, the man is shifting his footing. He knocks his balance. TK stumbles. And he strikes. His movements before had been clumsy, but his aim is precise.
The blade catches TK in the stomach.
It’s a swift entry, and a swift exit as the man pulls the blade back out. TK staggers, a baby deer in headlights as he staggers and he falls, crumpling to the floor like a marionette cut loose from its strings.
He makes a choked sound, but he doesn’t scream.
(Nancy screams.)

Summary
Faith says, as soft as she can, but it comes out all needful and half-shouting anyway: “Buffy!”
And it works. Buffy turns around. Looks Faith in the eye.(or: in which stabbing fantasies are Faith’s coping mechanism; Cordelia is always right; No one goes to jail; and Faith is just trying to figure out whatever the hell it means to be the Slayer again.)

Summary
“Miss Lopez,” Lucifer knocked on the frame of the lab in greeting. “I was about to retire for the evening and…“ he paused as he approached closer, noticing Ella’s complete lack of usual perkiness. “Are you alright?”
“Huh? Yeah- yeah I’m fine…” Ella responded softly, trailing off, her face devoid of the usual joy which accompanied her.
“Miss Lopez?” he began questioningly, not assured by her previous answer.
“No… no, I’m not,” she responded even softer than before, barely a whisper in the silence of the lab.

Summary
“Faith,” she says, “what the hell happened?”
And Faith can’t help it – she notices the little things, hears the slightest edge of concern in that quippy, valley-girl voice, and she withers under her gaze. Fear is power, yes, and what she fears most in this moment is just how quickly Buffy can make her want to give in.
With a swipe of her tongue across the front of her teeth, trying to swipe away whatever specks of blood might still linger, Faith feels herself wilt. “It was just a vamp – no big deal.”
“You’re hurt,” Buffy says, nodding to her neck. “And I know how you get about fights. It seems like a big deal from where I’m standing.”
Faith tilts her head to the side. “Then maybe you’re not standing close enough.”
Faith's just trying to let off some steam. It figures she'd run into the one person she most wants to avoid.
