Every vain one is having "fun" watching the two kids in the court, and most of them seem to want his "honor" restored because they now see she is a histrionic "victim". Well, She hasn't protected him from her to begin with, right? That means he is no friend. He could have seen the "future" from the start but he wanted the "present" regardless. He believed the "sweet" words she had for him straight out of the kiddie pool. He just didn't know that being a happy vampire comes at a cost, because the "love" you find bites too. Does he really know now? I don't think so.
Is he going to get his "career" back?
Does the distance make the professional lie "safer"?
