When no-one was around, Dawn would go to her sister’s room. Everything had been kept exactly the same. In some ways it was comforting, but in other ways… it just made it harder to let go.

One time, Dawn noticed a stack of books on the floor by the vanity. Brightly coloured post-it notes were stuck between the pages, marking the places where Buffy had left off. They were mostly course texts. On top of the stack was a copy of Pride and Prejudice.

Dawn opened the novel and started reading from the middle. She would finish reading all the books.
