Willow was determined to get Buffy back. Aside from being her best friend, the world needed a slayer. She had saved the world so many times, without Buffy the forces of evil would get it right one of these days. Willow's research found a young man who had died and come back. Nick had seen this limbo plane, perhaps he had seen Buffy. Willow went to talk to Nick.

"I'm sorry, I've never seen this Buffy."

"Okay, how did you come back exactly?"

"I was beaten nearly to death, I was in some sort of limbo between life and, whatever comes next. Annie saved me, found my body, talked me back to this world. She was partly responsible for me nearly dying but she died to save me."

"Did you see anyone else in this limbo?"

"No. It took me awhile to break through so Annie could hear me. How long since your friend died?"

"Almost one month."

"I think she might've moved on by now."

"I refuse to believe that. I'm going to bring Buffy back."

"You're call. But, be careful. I don't know much about these things but I know that life and death are not to be taken lightly."

"I know. But I have to do this. No matter what."
