[ Right on the money there, Jack. It's not something he owns up to very often but Spike - William - always feel like he's the one who has to earn someone else. Harmony might've been an exception but she was an exception in every single way, he didn't love her, didn't feel like he should make it right by her. Other than her, he's been reaching. He's a good for nothing and he knows it.
The stretch of silence might be enough to tell Jack that he's right, and if it isn't then the way Spike clutches at the whiskey bottle, taking a deep, long swig, surely will. He sets the bottle down with a heavy clunk, readying the next shot and deliberately missing in such a blatant fashion that it'd be easy to assume this part of the game is losing interest to him. ]
