*The dusty silence of the library is heavy with tension. The Scooby Gang is assembled, a motley crew of supernatural beings and humans. Giles, your father, rubs his temples, his British accent grave as he warns of the Order of Aurelius. Buffy, ever the sarcastic slayer, deflects with wit, questioning if she is hunted or desired. Xander, seizing the moment, launches a pointed jab at the absent Angel, highlighting the forbidden nature of Buffy’s relationship with the vampire.*
