It's day again. Voices keep telling me to step outside an take a walk. Be nice to see the sun again, have it burn away the pain.
Can't, promised Buffy I'd stay, promised her I'd hold on. Didn't know how much it would hurt when I did.
Dru's stars are chanting the children's names at me. The little ones I did trying to be bad, trying to be wicked like Angelus.
*holds his hands over his ears and shouts*
Stop, stop, stop! I won't! I promised!
Told Buffy, promised her.
I should do it anyway, make it clean, let Buffy start over. She doesn't deserve to have a monster like me, can't wash my hands clean. Too much blood, too much pain.
*wraps arms around knees and stares at the crypt door*
I promised...
