"I mean, don't get me wrong. You gotta try. But no matter how many people you save, how many apocalypses you avert? Doesn't make up for it, not ever." Faith never liked apologies, never though they were worth anything, and certainly wasn't about to give up hollow ones in exchange for the lives she managed to ruin all by herself. "Atone is just a word people like me use to make themselves feel better. And that's not really the point, is it?"

She shrugs then, because she knows she's the idiot who's going to keep trying anyway.
