Angel sits his chair down next to the couch were the zombie-like Faith
lies.
"How are you doing?" he asks
"I'm fine", she replies unconvincingly. Angel decides to let it go.
"If you want to tell me anything I'll be upstairs", he says as he turns away from her and towards the elavator.
She speaks up suddenly, "I did because I wanted to be remebered." Angel turns towards her but doesn't interrupt.
"I killed all those people because I wanted my name to remembered. I have been afraid of being forgotton since I was a little girl in Boston. I wanted my birthday to be celebrated, and I wanted people all over the world to incorporate my name in their daily lives. I used to think I'd be remembered if I helped people but my life got turned around with the drugs and the crime. Then I became a slayer and I was sure I had gotton my second chance at helping but no one remmebred my name. No one celebrated it, but they did remember Buffy's", Faith pauses to look at Angel and take a breath before she continues, "That's why I hurt her. I wanted people, and you, to look at me like they looked at her. So I knew that at least one person would mourn my death and then Richard, I mean the Mayor, came he treated me like he loved me and that was all that mattered. So when Buffy took him away it seemed like it was over.", another uncomfortable pause, "So that's why I did those things. I am sorry."
He just looks back at her. He opens his mouth and then closes it again. "I know", is all he says before he heads upstairs.
