Prologue: From The Gift
The portal is continuing to do its destruction.
[Buffy turns back to Dawn as Dawn continues staring at the portal.]
DAWN: I'm sorry.
BUFFY: It doesn't matter.
[Dawn tries to run past Buffy but Buffy grabs her.]
BUFFY: What are you doing?
DAWN: I have to jump. The energy.
BUFFY: It'll kill you.
DAWN: I know. Buffy, I know about the ritual. I have to stop it.
BUFFY: No.
[The tower shakes underneath them, making them both stumble.]
DAWN: I have to. Look at what's happening.
[More lightning crackles, even larger than before. Buffy looks up. A huge dragon flies out of the portal and buzzes the tower, flying away as they watch.]
DAWN: Buffy, you have to let me go. Blood starts it, and until the blood stops flowing, it'll never stop.
[Buffy stares at Dawn in anguish.]
DAWN: You know you have to let me. It has to have the blood.
[A realization strikes Buffy.]
[She remembers.]
Spike: Cause it's always got to be blood.
In the hospital putting her hand to her wound, then pressing it against Dawn's bloody hand.
BUFFY: It's Summers' blood. It's just like mine.
BUFFY: She's me. The monks made her out of me.
First Slayer: Death is your gift.
[Buffy frowns. Turns around slowly.
In the distance, holes seem to be opening in the sky. The sky is growing lighter as the sun tries to rise.
Buffy turns back to Dawn, who stares wide-eyed.]
DAWN: Buffy ... no!
BUFFY: Dawnie, I have to.
DAWN: No!
BUFFY: Listen to me. Please, there's not a lot of time, listen.
[Buffy holds Dawn by the upper arms and continues talking to her.]
BUFFY: Dawn, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will *always* love you. But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles ... tell Giles I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world ... is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me.
[Dawn begins to cry. Lightning continues to crackle behind them.
She strokes the side of Dawn's face, and then kisses her on the cheek. Dawn continues to cry.
Buffy turns. Slowly, she runs down the platform as Dawn stays there crying.
Buffy swan dives off the end of the platform and into the portal.
Dawn watches, sobbing.
Below Giles sees the beginning of Buffy’s dive.]
GILES: Spike!
[Spike looks up and despite his pain rises and runs, leaps with supernatural speed and catches Buffy in his arms. They collapse to the ground.]
