On Wesley (Mildly Deeper Thoughts)

[butterfly]

So, Gunn can speak demon languages now.

Wesley must be feeling even more like he has no place. Everything that he does, someone else can do, and he has no reason to be at Wolfram and Hart - he went for Lilah's sake and didn't save her.

Couldn't save her.

They keep pointing out the shanshu - they keep reminding us of what Angel did - and they keep showing us that Wesley doesn't have a good reason for being at Wolfram and Hart.

And those three things are all bound up together in last season. In Connor. In Angel's destiny.

Everyone else has found a purpose. Wesley keeps trying to find one in being a help to the people around him, but he's at loose ends all the same. It's not working. He's getting frustrated.

I just get the feeling that things are building up with him - with the shanshu - with Angel. I'm not sure what he'd do if he finds out the truth - I've never really been able to anticipate him. I just know that I'm looking forward to seeing it.
