see
your gravestone that night. Angel had come here to see your
gravestone. Till this day, he come here each month to put your
favorite flower on your tomb. Faith is still in jail. Thank god.
But
we still need a slayer. Who will it be? Maybe he's there, but

easily.
They all treat me like a baby. Even Xander. I'm tired of this.
