See, I get the Angel not letting it, but I'm not sure I'm down with the him being to jaded and desperate to ever experience perfect happiness again. I guess I believe in a love (whether it be romantic, familial, or even just friendly) that can make that disappear for a second, you know? But yeah, I totally see what you're saying, and it makes sense. Also, it kinda makes sense that Angel couldn't be perfectly happy with the knowledge the perfect happiness sends him psycho. The knowledge is always there, whether he's thinking of it or not...
