people are able to hold onto hope

Andrea isn't entirely sure how many people know Spike's a vampire or if it's the sort of thing she's supposed to tell people. Mike knows, of course, and she thinks Clementine is aware of it, too. There may not be many people she trusts easily, but she counts Rukia as one of the few and thinks she would understand. At the very least, she doesn't expect her to go around telling people.

"He's sort of... a vampire," she admits, keeping her voice low. "The kind with a soul, so there's no killing of innocent people." At least not anymore.
