Ouch ouch ouch ouch all over again. Worse to inhabit the head of the guy going through it, isn't it? I thought so, when I chose Xander's head instead for this.
This line is heartbreaking for more indirect reasons: He's sorry for this, though this is how the world works. What happened to Giles to teach him that? Ouch again.
And again: ouch to the use of "O soave fanciulla". A good ouch. Grim material, but we do love watching our characters hurt, don't we? So we can get to that moment of cuddling at the end.
Fab job with grim material, here. *applauds* Awesome!
