[ Angel’s lingering by the angled late-day sunlight coming in through a dusty window of an abandoned warehouse when he turns on his NV, looking about as calm as can be for what he’s about to say. ]

Should have apologized weeks ago for what I did. Nobody should have been killed, I never wanted that to happen. Not here.

But how do you forgive part of who you are when you’re already condemned to hell. Absolution isn’t something i’m looking for anymore when there’s already nothing I can to do to stop the inevitable.

Saving the world doesn’t do anything when you’ve spent a few hundred years doing much worse. [ a beat, while he glances out towards the fading light. ] So what else is there?

I don't think that vampires of your world and mine have much in common. After a few hundred years, killing becomes more of a choice, and we can survive without blood if we must. My sire, Godric--before his coming here, I couldn't tell you when he last drank. He abhors it. Which is why this whole situation...

[ A pause to press his fingers to his temple. ]

If I had been made to kill it would have been different. I could care less. But it's cruelty that gives any immortal more to feel guilty over.

Whether or not killing's a choice, and whether or not we've got a soul, back home vampires can't survive without blood. Doesn't matter what kind, but we need it. The longest i've ever gone is three months, and that was pushing it. I don't think I would've made it another. [ Just like he's already starting to push his own tolerance here... ]

And when it comes to guilt-- I don't have it unless i've got a soul.
