[i_speak_softly]

[When Don opens the door to the storage room, he immediately forgets what he went there for. His housemates will hear him shouting:]

[Later, when he's calmer, a Voice post:]

Derek Bliss has gone home.

[... That's all he can manage.]

I'll check anyway.

[ stubborn. she will not lose him. ]

[i_speak_softly]

Please find him...

[As though Buffy could do so by sheer determination in searching. Then again, if anyone could shift reality through force of will, the Slayer could.]

[herotypical]

I will. I want to -- I hope to. I, God...

[ there is the sound of shuffling things. of getting ready. ]

[Don will let her go - but he'll be watching that connection, hoping she reports back.]

[herotypical]

[ sadly, she won't be.
