I've been in tears several times while reading this tale! It's that damn good! What a heartwrenching storyline. And I'm so mad a Giles right now I hope Andrew pushes him off the roof, but it doesn't kill him, oh no, that would be too easy. I want him suffer....Perhaps his broken and twisted body could house a sharp as ever mind that finds himself enslaved by some demonic master!!! I'm so glad Buffy and Spike have found each other in the compound, now I just hope Spike will let Buffy help him escape and they go away somewhere together to heal. Poor Spike! More please, I've got the tissues ready!

I think that I became temporarily ADD or dyslexic just for this chapter ... I read and reread and reread part after part and I was holding my breath and almost passing out. Gads ... great chapter !!! I hope that I am not amiss in feeling a little some relief for Spike. I just want him to have a break from all of the pain for awhle. I figure it's going to take him about 25 chapters to get emotionally righted now eh? (just kidding, but seriously though)

You do such a wonderful job of soaking an emotion. Your "evil" is so EVIL and your "broken" is so BROKEN ... I'm drained after each chapter. Great stuff.

FINALLY ,THANK GOD.
