Epiphany Mary Borsellino Anya doesn't want to be like Dawn. But if Xander died she'd, with cheeks a little thinner and dark circles under her eyes, keep going, and that makes her just like Dawn. Anya doesn't want to be like Buffy. Lived so long, seen so much, heard so many songs, she doesn't want to be blind and deaf now. Watching Xander asleep in the mild summer sunshine, Anya knows suddenly that she would die for him, which makes her just like Buffy. Anya doesn't want to be like Dawn or Buffy, but in everything important she's their twin. And she's glad.
