( Asking for nuance? Damn..... But Mika will meet it, because he knows it's not that simple - but only by so much. )
... Individual humans might be able to change. ( An emphasis on "might," and a sense that Mika considers this rare. ) But not humanity as a whole. And never a vampire. A monster is a monster because it's no better than its nature.
( And this is where he draws the distinction between humans and vampires, despite detesting both - a human could change, even if nearly all are monstrous. A vampire, though, is a wholly lost cause; a plague on the earth. )
And that includes me. ( As bitegate will later confirm, in Mika's mind. ) ... But I stayed who I was because I had someone I wanted to save. Someone worthwhile. If not for him...
( ... he doesn't know. Maybe he would have given up sooner, and let himself lose his memories, become a demon - the only real way for a vampire to "die." )
