Holy cow, you know how to pack the endings. I loved the bit about Spike saying how he preferred this Hell to Earth since Buffy was there. Very Spike and rather sweet in a depressing sort of way. Then, BAM the awesome ending, with the subconscious part of Buffy's mind knowing Spike's name. Wonder how Spike'll react and how much longer it'll take her subconscious to push back memories into her conscious. Fabulous chapter, as always.

very good read, thank you. hope the positive chapter ending keeps  spike sane a little longer.
