Part II
GUNN
Dear Buffy,
It's weird writing a letter to someone you've never met, though I've heard enough stories from Angel, Wes, and Cordy to have a pretty good handle on the backstory. . .but when Angel explained about this ritual, I knew that I had to pass this along to you, for whatever it's worth.
I've been helping Angel and the others out for most of the last year. . .it's been pretty rocky at times, and we've almost bought the farm a lot of times. When I met them, I wasn't too impressed. . .I had been fighting vamps with my crew for months, and a vampire and his two sidekicks fighting for the good guys wasn't exactly something I was ready to accept at face value. I was wrong. We may have come at it from different places, but we were fighting for the same thing. . .so that people could walk down a street at night without being made some demon's midnight snack, and I've learned a lot from them in the past year. . .and I'd like to think that they've learned something from me.
When Willow came to give us the news, we all hunkered down and talked, and I was amazed at just how much you have affected the lives of the people I've been fighting with: you know the stories, so I won't repeat them here, but I will say that it's pretty clear that none of them would be here today without you, and-aside from the whole being glad the world didn't end thing-I'm grateful to you for that.
My sister was turned last year, and I had to stake her. . .if I could have, I would have given my own life to save hers, so I understand what you did and why you did it. . .if you are out there and reading this, then you're probably in a better place right now, and I'd like to think that my sister's there too.
Thank you, and take care.
