I loved this chapter the very first time I read it. There's mirroring again - of the spiritual and physical Her spiritual heart, her warrior's heart was strong but the heart beating in her chest could no longer maintain life. - of the reactions of a vampire and of a human But Dawn was not Drusilla. If he didn't get the money, if he couldn't buy a crossbow, Dawn would understand!
And then there's Spike's instinctive understanding Vampires know, more than any other, that death is not an end, merely a change, that leads him to a decision he would see that his kitten was made a goddess yet.
Even though I knew the kitten was to die, her death made me sniffle again for both of them. Spike treated her so tenderly and a long time had passed since anyone had shown such joy simply to be in his presence.
