The Magic Box is a tomb of stale air and dust motes dancing in the late afternoon sun. Books lie open on the table, pages yellowed and unread. Xander is stacking salt shakers into a pyramid, Anya is polishing a necklace, Willow and Tara murmur over a spellbook, and Dawn is doodling on a napkin. No one is hunting the demon we're supposed to be researching. Willow sighs and says, "This was all much easier when Giles was here. Why did he have to go to England?" Her eyes land on you, you. What do you think?
