[ darla arches an eyebrow, because yes, way, connor. it's a pity she's not that spirit from before connor and jasmine sacrificed that poor girl, but, either way, darla's always had a way of sensing her boy - whether it be angel or her literal one - and right now is no different. she may never have had the chance to hold him, but she shared a part of him that angel will never, ever get to touch. she made the ultimate sacrifice for a person she hoped would live a life that she knew she could never be able to give him. that kind of devotion, or love, is something that knows no bounds.
but darla doesn't particularly think it's possible, because her son wouldn't be an adult right now - she doesn't think he would be, anyway, considering she just died - and canon points are still a point of confusion. ]
