About Lorne (Not Fade Away)

*blinks*

And now we know why Lorne was talking to himself in an empty bar in Spin the Bottle.

Because he walked away from the final fight.

Wow.

Fucking wow.

He killed for Angel, walked away from the final fight, and ended up in an empty bar, imagining an audience.

Some of his framing lines that resonate in retrospect:
"Well, what happened during it and what came after... Ooh, I'm gonna need a bigger drink."

"Is there anything worse than feeling like you're all alone?"

"Always leave 'em wantin' more, kiddo. That's the rule. Anyway, I've got no more to tell. Applause, applause. I got a sea breeze that's gonna up and leave with someone else if I don't get to her soon. So, you kids be good and go home. Hug your families while you can. And stay away from the magic. Trust me."

How happy am I that that framing device now makes complete sense? Very.

Oh, yes, I adore the arcs. I must have arc in my shows now or I just can't watch.
