In the darkness somewhere a newly familiar voice called and faded.

I stared at her until the excited voices faded and the building door clicked closed.

As their voices faded from our remote corner of the forest, we suddenly felt small and very alone.

The buzz of voices faded away as people became aware of him.

Her voice faded on the last word She sounded completely drained.

"Well..." Her voice faded from his mind, then came back more firmly.

"We lift as soon as I get back topside," as his voice faded in the distance.

His voice faded in Willow's ears as he and Faith made their way out.

His voice faded on the last word as the transporters took hold.
