In this episode Buffy shares three stories of bravery and presence: her daughter braving her first cliff jump with a hundred witnesses; her son choosing courage over conformity; and her mother, in the final stages of life, reflecting on the light she brought to others. These stories weave together into a reminder that a life well lived isn’t about avoiding fear or hardship, but about meeting each moment with fullness and love—so that, at least most of the time, the room feels brighter because we entered it.
