@mouthofhellโ gets a season 6 starter
โYou donโt gotta come tonight if youโre not up to it, B.โ
It wasnโt that Faith didnโt want Buffy to tag along -- sheโd love to throw back to the good olโ days, if they were really that good. Yโknow, before she went and blew everything up by throwing in with the Mayor. But they were older now and things werenโt so simple. Especially considering the blonde had recently just come back from the dead.
Faith was furious with Willow for reasons the redhead couldnโt understand. The Scoobies all thought the dark Slayer was glad to have B out of the way, which couldnโt be further from the truth. But what they didnโt know, didnโt feel, was how deeply Buffy had been at peace with her sacrifice. Slayers saw their predecessors die in dreams all the time -- it was a cosmic lesson from the universe not to fall in the same way. Drowning, stabbing, and so, so many teeth. But Buffyโs was different. The bright light, the warmth. And Sunnydale couldnโt see a path forward without her, but that was how the world worked, right?
Slayers called, Slayers died. No one wept -- except for this one.
No one would cry for Faith, would they?
โReally, you need to rest. I know itโs a big ask, but... trust me?โ
