[Tears start anew as she meets Dinah's eyes, kissing her back, then resting her hand on Dinah's shoulder when she pulls back.]
I don't want you to hurt her. Or for her to hurt you. [Faith wipes at her face with her free hand to try and clear the tears.] It's been years for me, but not for her. How many times did you call out Roman on the network? She's feeling the same way. Maybe I didn't do nearly as much hideous shit as he did... still, I don't blame her. I knew she'd do it. I knew the moment she went into that coma.
[How many times had she thought about confessing to Buffy before she remembered and chickened out? She'd lost count.]
You can fight for me. But please try to just do it with words. Please? I care about her, even if she hates me right now.
I called out Roman when he did something here. When he carved up my ass or tried to kill me. I didn't call him out for the shit he did to me back home. It's different.
[Dinah sighs.]
I didn't know she didn't know. Faith, I wish you'd told me. I coulda come with you, told her... But I'm here now to help you deal, any way you want. But I'm not letting you hurt yourself over it. Faith, you're worth way more than who you were.
