It was my fault. What happened. Angelus had my sealskin last month and he asked for information on everyone, and I gave it, and he used that to hurt people. So. That's why.
OH, right, yes, because I died in October once a month I turn into a seal and whoever gets my sealskin when I change back can tell me to do anything they want for one night and I'll do it.
[ This is the first time that Faith has ever felt like she got lucky in October. Maybe that's why she can't let Koby take on guilt that's rightfully hers. ]
but he would've gotten that info with or without you trust, this one's on me
well, it's not yours and B thinks everything's her fault
but i'm the one who could've killed him last month and instead i let him walk i'm the one who told cassian i'd look out for him and then got there too late
You wouldn't have "let him walk" if you thought he was going to hurt anyone, right? And you were helping us find Amy and Giles -- I was there, I remember.
He made me useful for a reason. Because it would cause the most damage, if he acted with the knowledge I gave him. I didn't do it on purpose, but it was still me sitting there, talking. Making this easy for him.

The pictures were sort of in keeping with that, I think.
