Buffy in Afterlife and Buffy in the Becoming flashback: YOU WANT TO KILL ME WITH THE FEELS.
These two scenes are so meaningful. I connect them both to depression in a way. The Becoming scene seems to me the metaphorical beginning of it, the discover of that side of your mind, and Afterlife is just the jumping point. And in both images Buffy seems so innocent, in the first one she's really just a kid and in the second one she's dressed in white. But, even in the narrative, in both moments there's something that breaks Buffy and you captured it so well. The coloring is almost violent and Buffy has the same defeated expression. Plus the fairytale-like font is perfect. It's innocence shattered. So beautiful.
