I know an apology won't fix anything. It won't stop the pain I've caused. It won't bring back the lives I've taken. I'm not even sure anyone wants to hear it, but in case someone does --
I'm sorry. For all the unspeakable things I did while my soul was missing. And for allowing it to get taken in the first place. And for the fact that I spent a week wallowing instead of cleaning up the mess I made.
I won't ask for forgiveness. Not without earning it.
I don't want people living in fear of Angelus here. He's gone. My His progeny, I'm working on stopping them. But I'll stay away from the Tower, and I'll make sure someone knows where I am at all times. Until I find a way to keep my soul secure, I'll do everything I can to make sure you're safe from me.
[Sam Winchester & Wesley Wyndham Pryce] From now on, I'm not allowed to tell you I need to "get away." If I ever lose touch again, assume the worst. Sorry to put this on you but I can't put it on Buffy after you're the ones I trust with it.
