I fought the war [But the war won't stop for the love of God]
A. Kill one person to save 1,000,000 others? (you are not allowed to kill yourself)
Hello? His name is Angel. Yeah. I have and I will again. I’m a slayer. We don’t the luxury of answering no to this question. I’m not saying it’s easy or that it ever gets easy. In fact, I hope it doesn’t ever get easy because then I think I become this monster and Monster Buffy? So not a desirable future for me or anyone. There are people I say no to. Dawn is never going to be an option.
B. Kill 1,000,000 people to save someone in particular? (you are not in danger in this instance)
Maybe. I know it makes me a bad slayer to say that. I know that the answer to this question should be absolutely not. I’ve lost way too many people I love to say no. If killing a million people would have saved Mom…I don’t know. I miss her. The thing is it’s never just about killing a million people. It’s who you become when you do something like that. For my Mom, I just might become that person.
Extra Credit question:
Would you sacrifice yourself in order to save 1,000,000 people even if they never learned your name?
Hello? I’m a slayer. Been there. Done that. It was called a swan dive from the top of a very tall tower. It’s called every single night since I was sixteen. Sometimes they say thank you. Most of the time they just run and I think it’s because they can’t figure out who the bad guy is because if the bad is scared of you, maybe you’re just a bigger bad guy. You know how wild animals can get into territorial disputes and completely ignore all the prey that’s scampering for high ground. So yeah, most of the time they don’t say thank you and they never my name.
But the monsters always do. What does that say about me?
