   Summary

   When Buffy is resurrected, she doesn't feel whole. While struggling to be the responsible adult that Giles left her to become, the Scoobies discover an issue with Buffy. She's not broken but she's not whole. With Giles' help, she must heal and possibly in the process find what she'd given up on having.
