Re: Angel | Sam
I can actually sympathize. And I'm a vampire, so I should like killing, but it's just a means to an end. When I was evil, it was a way to torture people; now, it's a way to save them. It'd be nice if some day I didn't have to, but... I guess a normal life's not in the cards.
Technically Illyria is wearing Fred's dead body, but that isn't new. Then Claire looks like Fred did when she was alive. And then there are my dead friends who, I guess, are alive now. Oh, and one of the people I murdered when I lost my soul is here. In case I needed more motivation to try to find a way to get everyone back home without letting them die again.
I'm glad you have people you feel safe around here. That's really important.
Not sure I'd call Spike's brand of familiarity 'nice.' More like a constant reminder of some of the worst things I've ever done in my life. But yeah, at least I already know his particular brand of weirdness. And we're from the same time, so no awkward conversations about what either of us has missed.
