Whenever Buffy starts to lose herself and isolate herself from her friends, she generally ends up looking at a picture.
This happens at least four times (anyone remember any others?)
The one she looks at in the early part of S6 has Buffy and Willow in the foreground and Xander in the middle but in the back.
When she looks at a picture in S7, the two girls are together in the back (with Willow almost hidden behind Buffy) and Xander's the counterpoint on the bottom, head resting on Buffy and her arm around behind him. And interestingly, it was taken at the same time as the photo she looks at in Primeval, though in that one, she's smiling down at him. The first time is in Dead Man's Party, and it's also from the same shoot - with all three of them all cuddled up together. Is it just coincidence that as the years pass, they get further away in that set of photos? And yet, the connection doesn't fade, even though the distance does increase.
