OK, I will comment now! I really like this -- especially the contrast between what is...for lack of a better word, "wrong" with these two, or at least the nature of their temptations. Faith to reject community and go off on her own and then just getting sick of how people do things; Willow to define the wrong threshold of power to cross and lose track of what limits she has to have. Both about control. I also love the comparison between Warren (and possibly Rack) and Faith's kills. I do think Willow knows that it was wrong and regrets doing it, but...well, yeah. Ideally, Willow should wish that Warren weren't dead, but she can't will herself into feeling bad that he's out of the world. Which I think given the Willow/Warren parallels (which she is probably aware of subconsciously if nothing else -- I mean, not "there are parallels!" but that the two have a few things in common) is always going to be a bit of a roadblock to her forgiving herself. But then, she also has it easy in a way Faith doesn't, because Willow never killed someone who is as innocent as Lester.

The colour-coding discussion at the end, along with "evil geniuses don't blush like that", made me think: would Dark Willow blush black instead of red?
