Lovely discussion between Buffy and Dawn. Like how Buffy comes to see more clearly through talking things through. Love her compliments to Dawn about being a carer and Dawn so thrilled to hear it.
Liked the reference back, She'd never figured out exactly what it was he'd wanted to hear.So you really think it was just the words I was waiting for? Also the back ref to Spike and Anya at the magic shop,
Angry and sad and bereft.
