Thank you. It’s always tricky, trying to figure out just how far the “Sunnydale Syndrome” (pathological obliviousness) extends to particular characters, or how they’ll react when their comfortable illusions are punctured. As for Mary Claire … well, to carry Buffy’s observation (at the end of the day, you can only hurt if you’re still alive) a little farther, your conscience troubles you only if you have a conscience, which is a good thing.
