Sad, but very appropriate, given their respective responsibilities.
Yes, this exactly.

I'm very much looking forward to the Epilogue.
I'm getting nervous now... I hope it'll live up to expectations!

Loved these bits, especially, where Jack is momentarily humbled by who Buffy truly is:
OMG you pulled out my own favourite lines! *squish*

Excellent and compelling work, as always!
Thank you! (And your fb always brightens my day. Or evening as the case might be. *g*)
