Dawn remained silent as she took in the damage done. She couldn't believe...who would actually do something like this?
When they reached the stairs, Dawn stepped away from Buffy, taking a breath as she grabbed a hold of the railing and making her way down, slipping once and thanking God silently that she had a good grip on the railing. She slipped again near the bottom, unable to catch the railing, but Murphy caught her. She smiled up at him, before looking back for Buffy.
