This is fabulous!! I love the glimpse of Buffy pre-series before she knows she's a slayer, very fun scene. It's neat to see how that parallels Buffy's friendship with Faith and when she steals in S3. Really love this:
Someone who knew you better than you knew yourself. This feeling, the knowledge that she wasn't alone anymore? That was intoxicating.

Really great exploration of Buffy's fear of being alone.
