What part of I'm from about seven years into your future confused you, exactly? No, Xander didn't put me up to this. I haven't even spoken to Xander since leaving Sunnydale following graduation.
Look. I know this is all confusing. I mean, the last time you saw me, I was this total rich snob who took a whole lot of pleasure out of tormenting you pretty much every chance I got, nevermind that I was sorta kinda dating Xander at the time.
That's all in the past for me, though. I have actual layers now. I help people, people who need helping. And it's not just me. There's a whole group of us.
And, as Mantis tried telling you, Angel is the main one who does the helping. He's not dead, he's not still in Hell, and he's not Angelus. He's Angel, he's fully souled, and if you don't believe me I swear to God, I'm going to make him log onto this computer and tell you himself.
Because while I'm all for letting you heal or whatever, there is some major stuff going on in this city and we need your help to stop it.
