…ok so…
I agree with Lucifer…to a point
Yes, Spender did a lot of wrong things. He shouldn’t have let his rage get the best of him. He shouldn’t have continued to pick a fight when the enemy was leaving, especially one where the enemy was leaving. He shouldn’t have exhausted himself against the council of his spirit partner, to the point of opening the cage. Yeah, a lot went wrong.
But he is a man, and he is fallible (you should know Satan), and that isn’t a bad thing.
He can learn, he can do better, he can be better. Everyone can.
But he is so enraptured by the Light that he blinds himself from those around him.
Look, he is literally walking in shadows away from Isabel after Lucifer said that the light must be focused. This isn’t a good path for Spender.
Spender is so focused on protecting the town, especially with this fallback that I am afraid he is going to lose himself to the cause, whatever his cause is. He might become a shell, a shadow, of who he used to be, focused on his duty that he ignores everything else.
And the sad thing is, is that he won’t get far alone. Because if he is by himself in this, then once his light-bulb burns out there will be no replacement, and the darkness will be released anyway.
