Repenting Will Never Be Enough

Years pass and he tries to make his way in the world, live under the radar but make a difference. A good difference this time round. Josef has told him time and time again that what happened when he first changed was not his fault, that given Coraline had not even told him what she was, he could not be held responsible.

He knows he learned control the hard way, that he has repented over and over for those early sins. For all the people he tries to save, all the good he tries to do and even though his blood now comes from a bank, Mick feels like the blood of those early days will never wash off and he will be forever tainted by Coraline's treachery in turning him.
