Summary: A season 6 story where Giles doesn't leave Sunnydale, realizing how much Buffy really needs him. Through a turn of events, Giles ends up getting knocked out (no shock there) but instead of his usual concussion, he's in a coma. 
Encouraged to speak to Giles during this time, the Scoobies take turns staying with him.
What the visitors don't know is that Giles hears everything. Even the things he never, ever wanted to hear.
