[And Willow is finally waking up from, well, being dead. The communicator is lying on the bedside table as she sits up, wincing a little.

You're back.

I guess you saw it too, huh? Sorry about that. I mean, it happening was pretty gross, but having it broadcast was the cherry on top of an evil master plan.

I imagine that sort of thing would be difficult to cope with.

[awillowywitch]

[considers this]

Difficult, yeah, but I'm trying not to think about it too much. It's not so healthy to get bogged down in depression.
