Excellent new part, Kirayoshi!

I find Willow's and Buffy's reactions to the death of Oz to be quite 
realistic and in character. Willow has not only lost someone she deeply 
cared for, she has run into the limitations of foreknowledge and blames 
herself (since Oz did not die in the "original" timeline). Buffy is also 
deeply affected, as involvement in her life put Oz in the situation that 
led to his death. Nice job showing how both are affected.

May I add a HUGE cheer for the staking of Spike? I have long thought that 
Spike should have been dust NO LATER than 'Harsh Light of Day' -- much as I 
like James Marsters, the increasing role of Spike has sent the show in 
directions I just don't like. His staking makes sense at this point in your 
story, given the dusting of Dru and the attack on Joyce.

Now Joyce has to deal with the truth about Buffy's life...and the gang 
needs to get back to the hospital and deal with the Kinderstod beastie. 
Hopefully we'll see more sometime soon, now that your monitor is functional 
again? Please, please?
