suppose there's room for a discussion of what alleys are, what they mean,
Dude. Total birth canal.
Of course, I may just be randomly making stuff up.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?
Especially a rainy one. At first I was wondering if the alley scene was because Hyperion set wasn't available anymore. Then I thought it was because of the rain. Faith's big emotional turning point was in a rain-soaked alley. Connor was born and Darla died in a rain-soaked alley. I bet if they had a chance to go back and reshoot the scene, it would have been raining in the alley in Ireland when Darla turned Angel.
And what about when Whistler found him in the alley?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Alleys being places of garbage, danger, hiding, violence, and occasional sex.
OK, not as much fun as a birth canal.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So are alleys, what's the word, liminal?
Spike has been pretty loveless since the coming back to life, hasn't he? Personal growth, I guess.
That Nietzschean phrase, amor fati? Seems like that ought to work into these ideas somehow or other.
