   Summary

   2001. Buffy Summers is dead, and Faith is the only Slayer left in the world. After dreaming of Buffy's final words, Faith takes her advice to heart and returns to Sunnydale, to shake off her past and be the hero she wasn't before.

   Then everything gets harder when Buffy climbs out of her grave. Because when she comes back, she comes back wrong.
