Have you ever seen someone get purified and be happy about it? No, right? They always say how they've screwed up and they don't deserve a second chance. And why's that? Oh yeah, because they did something to allow that malevolence in their hearts. They're never the same, pride destroyed.
[Then his smirk gets wider, darker.]
There are some that can't be purified. What'll happen when you run into that, Shepherd?
