He'll be back one of two times. When I died, I came back three days later. Kyle came back when the new arrivals showed up.
[ And he really hopes that he remembers all of that correctly. Because he doesn't want to give Nick false hope. But he knows how open-ended waiting, even when it's only hours, can feel. ]
You said she switched off her humanity? That's a term they use for vampires. There's no easy way to do it. They have to decide to turn it back on. I don't know how they decide if they don't care. Maybe their emotions are just muted. Enough of a shock to the emotional system and the emotions come back.
Good bet that was what Michael was trying to do.
[ Because he would do his damndest to save someone he cared about. That was just who Michael was. ]
I don't know Hope enough to even start to get to her like that and I knew her parents well enough to know that it's safer to keep a distance.
that's how he did it with kyle, right? she's definitely a vampire. she said he was...nagging. if he comes back and hope is still like this, he's just going to try again, so i need to figure out how to stop it from going like this again.
( there's a half second pause before the follow up. )
He will come back, Nick. He will come back or I will burn this place down to find him.
[ What he doesn't say is that he's half-tempted to anyway to find out what in the hell happened to Bass. To find some definitive answers for the why of all of this. ]
And I will do everything I can to make sure he doesn't go right back into the fire.
