What would it take?

Fade from black to a shot of Buffy sitting in front of the memorial sapling, lost in thought, her knees pulled up to her chest.
Dissolve to Buffy rushing into Willow's room. She grabs someone we can't quite see and throws them against the wall.
Dissolve to Buffy, crying her heart out as she buries her face in her hands.
Fade to black.

What would you do?
Fade from black to Tara, smiling at Dawn with utter affection.
Dissolve to Tara watching Willow from across the room, happy for a moment before becoming deeply troubled.
Dissolve to Tara, resolute and determined, holding a long, thin dagger.
Fade to black.

How far would you go ...
Fade from black to reveal Willow holding up a large, colourfully wrapped box and beaming with delight.
Dissolve to Willow at a party, looking around with frantic concern for something or someone.
Dissolve to Willow, her lips curled back in a furious snarl and her eyes a bottomless void.
Fade to black.

...for a second chance?
