Because it wasn't exactly the most ideal solution for her. Yet she couldn't think of anything else that could possibly work at this point.

Although she was fairly confident he would immediately begin rushing towards her, the damage to their relationship would probably be astronomical.

As Willow continued to hesitate, Apollo continued forth. The black tendrils pierced through nearly his entire body along with his organs, but that was hardly a reason to run for him.
If anything, it was a reason to continue forth.
Apollo's bokken flashed, cutting through the black tendrils that pierced him, but not even a second later, others pierced through him once more.
