Paralell this with Angel's reaction of "I'm okay" and you see who really loved Buffy. Why didn't Angel stick around to take care of Dawn?
If you truly love someone then, no matter what, there is no "okay" when you lose them, especially if it's been so little time. Can we not do this here though? I just figured that this was safe zone. It did say Spuffy, right? I didn't think I was gonna get my throat slit from behind by a Bangeler. IM me with your rebuttell... If you have one, that is.Angel was busy fighting against his own enemies and didn't have time to babysit a teenager in a different town, and he knew she was in safe hands with the gang.
And Angel saying he's okay doesn't mean he didn't love Buffy just as much or more than Spike. It was 3 months later and Angel had people (Cordy) helping him through it. He also had work and his mission to keep his mind off things. Besides, he spent the Summer in a different country trying to get over her death because it affected him so much.
Hmm, I'm not sure why this had to turn into a shipping war. I don't think you can compare Spike's and Angel's reactions. If Angel had run to Sunnydale to try to help out, he would've been criticized for that, too.
Taking the scene as it is, with no comparisons, yes, it's incredibly moving. And not just Spike himself, but added with everybody's reaction at seeing Buffy's lifeless body. He's just completely devestated.
