Willow: What happened?
Kennedy: This demon jumped us on patrol. They were fighting then the demon ran off and Buffy went all weird…
Willow: …and ended up like this?
She motioned to a terrified Buffy who was curled in a corner of the room, muttering senselessly.
Faith: Took us about an hour to convince her we weren't trying to kill her
Willow: She doesn't recognise any of you?
Faith: She looked at me a bit funny, like she knew who I was but just couldn't remember
Willow slowly approached Buffy, who curled further in on herself. She held her palms flat out to show that she didn't have anything in them.
Willow: It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you, okay?
Buffy lifted her head slightly and studied Willow carefully before starting to crawl to her.
Buffy: W-W-il-il-low
Willow: Yeah, that's right. Willow
Buffy: Wi...low
Willow: Do you know who you are?
Buffy: Buffy
Willow: That's right
Buffy: Angel
Willow: Angel?
Buffy: Angel. Want Angel
Willow looked nervously at Faith. She hadn't expected this. When they'd realised an apocalypse was occurring in LA, they flew straight there. But they were too late. Angel, Spike, Illyria and Gunn were the only survivors, and Gunn only pulled through because of Willow's magic. Angel was furious that they hadn't come sooner, saying he'd rung Giles who'd refused. Buffy was angry that neither Spike nor Angel rang her to say that he was alive and the two of them had concluded that they never wanted to see each other again. Angel was the last person Willow expected Buffy to want to see.
Willow: Buffy, I don't think that's a good idea. You and Angel –
Buffy: Want Angel! Buffy want Angel!
She began to panic so Willow quickly grabbed her shoulders, trying to calm her.
Willow: Okay, okay Buffy. I'll get Angel
Buffy visibly calmed and curled back into herself, rocking slightly and whispering 'Angel'.
Faith: What're you gonna do red?
Willow: I guess I better ring Angel. I wish Giles was here instead of London. He'd know what to do
