I finally had a chance to read this. Incredibly powerful and chilling. There is indeed always a price and the price here is almost too terrible to contemplate.
There is so much to love here - Buffy seeing Angel as her anchor although in the end, he can't save either of them. The lives of all the slayers bleeding together and driving Buffy mad. Faith thinking about Buffy and Angel and Riley and finally understanding Buffy's feeling fir Angel via Riley.
What no one ever figured out was that the world was never meant to end, not really. What Buffy realizes now is that she is the thing that ended instead. She can feel the other girls ending, too.
