SO THE POWERS SAID YA NEEDED TO SEE ME BEFORE YA MOVE ON

MY SENSE OF TIME HAS GOTTEN A BIT

IFFY, BEING DEAD AND ALL,BUT IT’S BEEN YEARS,MAN! HAVEN’T MOVED

ON?

DOYLE, I’M SO-

WOAH WOAH WOAH. YOU’RE THE BEST FRIEND I EVER

HAD, ANGEL, BUT YOU’RE TOO MUCH WITH THE SORROW AND REGRET. DON’T APOLOGIZE, IT’LL CHEAPEN IT. JUST...YOU

KNOW, FIGHT ON.

MY HEAD KINDA GOT CHOPPED OFF.

OH, DON’T WORRY. NOT PERMANENT.

ALSO, TRY TO MAKE IT SO

ANOTHER TEAMMATE DOESN’T DIE. DON’T

WANNA BE ALL FOREBODING, BUT WITH

WHAT’S COMING… YOU’RE GONNA NEED ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET.

PRETTY COOL EFFECT.

YEAH, THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE.

GUESS I’M FLATTERED. SO HOW’S UNLIFE BEEN WITHOUT ME? LET ME

GUESS. BROODY?

SO… IS THIS WHERE YOU LIVE?

THIS, UM, WHITE SPACE?I MEAN, IT’S NICE

NAH, THIS IS LIMBO. NEUTRAL GROUNDS. WELL,

NEUTRAL AS MEETING GROUNDS FOR THE LIVING AND DEAD GET. WE CAN’T

TOUCH THOUGH, SO NO MAN-HUGS.

BUT… WHERE YOU ARE… IS IT… IS IT GOOD?

CAN DEMONS…

DON’T WANNA RUIN THE SURPRISE, DO YA?

ACTUALLY, KINDA. I’M NOT THE BEST WITH SURPRISES. AS, ER, LIMBO SEEMS TO BE

SHOWING YOU.

THIS SURPRISE, YA MIGHT LIKE.

lOOKS LIKE THEY’RE PULLING ME BACK. GOT

WHAT YOU nEED?

NO DOYLE- I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, YOU WERE NEVER THIS TALKY WHEN

I WAS ALIVE.

IS IT TRUE, DOYLE? THAT I’LL BE… THE

FALL OF MAN? THEY SAID IT’S

TRUE. GOD, WESLEY SAID IT’S TRUE…

YEAH…

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, MAN…

I DON’T KNOW. NOT PRIVY TO THAT INFO. BUT AS YOUR FRIEND?

PARTNER IN ANTI-DEMON-CRIME? I SORTA JUST

DOUBT IT. BUT WHY’RE YOU SO CONCERNED ABOUT

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

“SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AROUND CORDY CAN DO THAT TO YOU.”

JUST LIVE, MAN.…

“JUST LIVE.”

WHAT ABOUT YOU, THEN? HANGING IN

THERE?

I’LL LIVE.

THE END.
