Looks like there's been a breakthrough regarding who killed
Xander's poor
girlfriend. I wish I could be happy about that, I really do. But I can't.
Not when all signs point to some emissary of Glory.
Even dead and gone, she still has a hold over me. Gee, Tara...wonder why? I mean, it's just that she thought you were
the Key, and when she found out that you weren't, she drained off part of your brain. And after you were murdered by
someone who was supposed to be everyone's friend, she snatched up your soul like it was some kind of trading card or something...
Is it any wonder I'm a little spooked?
It's the kind of thing I have to watch, though. My emotional state tends to transmit through to other people when I hit emotional extremes. I mean, it's not as though I haven't noticed that
Willow's been barely sleeping. She's running through coffee like it's going out of style.
...I'm just a little stressed at the thought of Glory getting her hands on me again, even from beyond.
Buffy swears to me that she won't let that happen, and
Giles assured me that I wouldn't have to come anywhere near the case unless they absolutely needed me to backstop Will magickally...but I want to help. I liked Maddie. I thought she was sweet, and really good for Xander.
So, I've been trying to keep busy by planning a birthday party for Buffy. I know that we kind of missed it last year, and I don't want to do that again...
I've already even called Los Angeles, and spoken to
Wesley, to invite all of the people there to the party...even Angel. It's important to Buffy, and so is he. If it makes me uncomfortable, that's my problem, and not Angel's, nor Buffy's.
I just have to keep telling myself that, is all.
