Thank you for writing this. I've been meaning to sit down and have a proper Anya-centered contemplating session and you beat me to it.. and did a terrific job.

It irked her how Spike was easily forgiven. Was he better that her? He was a vampire, she was human – now. He got himself a soul, she chose to be a human. Everyone was fussing around Spike, not around her. "Forgiveness makes us human." - Those who are forgiven, or those who forgive? She didn't know. She was human now. Was she forgiven?

I was reading the essay in a rather relaxed mood and this paragraph made me sit up straighter, and I went back and read everything again.

I miss Anya.
