Xander was gone. This is unexceptable. Xander wasn't supposed to die. Giles was dead, and Willow. So many emotions were going through me. I've never felt so overcome with this type of emotions. They were alive about a half hour ago, now that is not the case

"He's really gone? Please tell me this is all a dream. Xander can't die. He had so much more to live for."
Suave is something that I had developed and I don't think that anybody that knew me could deny it, but this was one of those times when I wanted to hide, to not face reality, to get away from the world.
I'm not proud of this, but having dragged my boss into the hotel and after seeing all of the dead slayers...girls that I had worked with, friends...brave girls...I was filled with the feeling that this beyond me.
I looked down at Xander after Anya's understandable statement and was filled with a void, like an episode of Voyager when they reached the outer limits of the galaxy and nothing was there...and knew that no comforting words would escape my mouth for Anya's benefit.

"And, why would you be alive? Why couldn't Xander be alive? It's nice to know how much you care about Xander?" I got up off the floor. The tears spilled out of my eyes.
"Xander's dead. Willow's dead. A bunch of Slayers are dead, and some injured. Happy, now?" I couldn't believe he wondered if Xander was our only casualty. Like, his life meant nothing. "This wouldn't have happened if we didn't listen to your horny Slayer. She's the one that brought us all here. If it wasn't for her, Xander, Willow, and those Slayers would
