Constrict

What she did for Dawn was a one time deal, something that had stemmed from a love all consuming, this time however the world would be destroyed, not just sucked into a hell dimension and that seemed to make all the difference.

Heartbreak

Would she still sacrifice them if, when she saved the world, there was nothing left; no one alive so it's not really the world she saved but the planet itself and is it really the world if there's no one to live; to love; to hate; to lust; to betray; to care for?

Once

She'll always love Angel differently from how she loves anyone and everyone else, it's a fact of life that stung when Riley looked her in the eyes and said chose, it's a fact of life that burned when Spike sacrificed himself and denied her love, and it's a fact of life when Xander's head pops before her eyes just for an attempted kiss.

Taught

He's a father figure she doesn't need anymore, everything he has to teach has been passed to her, and yet she'll always need him even as she shuts that door.

Consant

Willow has been a steady presence in her life, they're there for each other even when they can barely understand and when they understand only too well.

Persistant

She can count on him to tell her what she needs to hear and at the same time being brutally honest; it's why she loves him and goes to him and relies on him like she used to Giles.

Paralytic

She was born from her blood and more a sister than she had been when she was just memories obscuring the link that didn't click until after learning the truth; that she was a key that opened the door.

Penetrating

He sees through her; the one she can't fool even when she tries.

Solititude

They can't understand her and she can't understand them; they're not the chosen one and she isn't not the chosen one.

Together

Yet they're together and they understand even when they don't because how could they when she's the only one but suddenly she's not and their legion and she's still alone because she's the original, the first; not activated by mystical means; she's real and they're not because nobody is because they're links on a chain and does it really matter but it does because it's the only thing real.

Eternal

They're alone together; they've been there since the beginning and they'll be there at the end.
