He'd lost so much over the past seven years. Jesse, his best bud. No chance to say goodbye, only time to kill the thing his friend had become.

Cordelia. His first real girlfriend. Lost through betrayal. She'd left town...and now she was in a coma. No chance to say goodbye to her, either.

He'd just started patching things up with Anya. And she had been killed. No goodbye, take three.

And so he'd lost his mind. Catatonic, in the back of the bus, he wandered among the corridors of his soul with his fallen comrades. It was better there.

I particularly like the mention of Jesse. The show glossed over that loss, but it HAD to mean a lot to Xander.

Well, it was why he hated vampires so very much, and he never did really get past that in his relations with Angel and Spike.

Poor Xander has lost a lot during the course of this show.
