Summary
That's the difference between you and me.
This darker version of Willow squatted by her in a grim mockery of where this had all started, her face a stoic, murderously enraged mask. Every part of her hurt and Faith stared in utter terror at this pale spider-veined monster and with that sickening realization of just what lay behind that rage, she realized this might be how she went out.
You know what it feels like, now. Your body, completely in the control of something you can't stop, and you can't control. You hurt me, Faith. Went out of your way to try to ruin my life.
Willow then stood up right as her friends had found her, knowing what that light had meant even when Faith didn't.
But I'm not like you, and I never will be. Right now. Try me again and I'll flay you and burn you to ashes.
Faith found herself fully believing Red in that moment for reasons besides being on her back after being brutally ragdolled, not least of them the relish in that tone as the pale spider-veined monster had grinned at her for the first time.
