[When the feed comes on, Fred isn't really looking at it. The sun is setting and she looks sick. Wiping away traces of blood from her mouth she finally speaks.]

Wesley? I think-- [Things have mostly come back. She was here. She was definitely here before. For months. And-- and Connor. She had her memories of Connor replaced here. Angel and Angelus. And Lucifer. Her eyes go wide.]

Angel? Angel are you still here? [Oh God, she'd died. She remembered the pain and the blood and her body was so broken. Her hand moves to her mouth in shock.]

Chuck. Oh God, please. Someone tell me if Chuck is okay. [She swallows. So much had happened.]

And Lucifer. The vampires. I-- remember. I was here and I died. And I loved someone. I remember it. But I went home and-- [And she's going to die. Her eyes fall down and she just can't deal with all of this. The last shot before it turns black is a second or so of tears starting to fall.]

You're not explaining anything, Angel. [Details. :| ]

The Circle of the Black Thorn. The big bad of all big bads, Fred. They're the earth-bound instruments of the Senior Partners and the guys behind all of Wolfram & Hart's apocalyptic plans.

I got indoctrinated into the Circle so I could get names and so we could take them down. So we could actually do something about something instead of taking the little guys out and getting nowhere.

[ There, is that better? ]

Did it work? [She asks after processing that. Please tell her Wesley's death meant something.]

Took out the Circle, pissed off the Senior Partners. So yeah, it worked.

Good. [It pains her to say that. To know that Wesley died. It strikes a very real chord in her, but to know that he did something good, that he fought with the closest people to him. It was an honorable way to go.]

[ He waits... probably a full minute to let her digest that before: ]

I'm sorry.

I don't blame you.

Wouldn't blame you if you did.

Any of us could have left. It was our choice, too.

Guess it explains why you were so... standoffish with me.

Not exactly things I was looking forward to talking to you about.

I understand. I guess I never pictured us facing something we couldn't handle. Even after Cordy.

The Senior Partners have got a dragon. Haven't found out yet if we can handle that, either.

[What? Her eyes just go round.]

We made a difference at least. At least I hope I did.

You did. None of us forget about you, Fred.

[She just goes quiet. She doesn't make it. Fred sniffs, trying not to full blown cry, still scared about what's to come.]

I don't regret any of it, you know. None of it. Not Pylea or meeting you or Angel Investigations. Not the Apocalypse or Connor.

[ Oh... Fred. Now he just wants to give you a hug. ]

I know. Back home, you don't know how much we miss you.

I'm sorry I couldn't beat it. [Not that she knew what it was.]

Did they figure out what it was? I know Knox was working with Gunn and Wesley shot someone?

Yeah, we know what it was.

And you're not going to tell me. Lucifer said something was burning my soul.

Do you want to know? Fred, i'm tired of lying to you, if you really want to know..

No. Maybe later, but right now-- it's been a long day.

Thank you, though.

If you ever feel like asking you-- [ a beat ] -- I'd say you know where to find me, but i'm making myself hard to find.

I heard. You're still welcome around the hotel. I don't think Griffin will want to see you though, but I owe him breakfast. I'll talk to him.

I'm not welcome anywhere Fred, don't worry about it. I'm used to it, I've been finding places to stay.

Do you need anything? Clothes, blood?
