Y'know, I'm starting to think those bad dreams weren't just dreams. He's leaving. They're leaving. Giles, Will, Tara. They say they're thinking about it, but I know. The Watchers Council Headquarters was destroyed and Giles has to go be all savior-ish and rebuild it. Because losing the Watchers Council is such a waste. Willow and Tara are going to go with him, help him.
Nevermind we're living on an active hellmouth, hey, let's go to England and make merry. Nevermind they brought me back from the dead, hey, let's abandon Buffy. She's a slayer, she can handle it. It'll be funny.
I know, I'm making this all about me. The Watcher Council's gone, who knows how many people, and all I can think is why is this happening to me? I can't help it. After you spend eight years protecting these people, you start to wonder when you get your kickbacks. They pulled me out of heaven so I could stay in this town, with them, and now they're leaving.
And I am happy, for them, that they get to go to England and start this whole new chapter in their lives. See the world, rebuild the Council into something not the bane of my existence, have a chance at their own lives. I am. It's just...it hurts. There's nothing I can do to change this or make it better. I have to let them go, and be there for Dawny.
Just sometimes I still wish they would've let me stay dead.
