Perfect Happiness
What if Angelus were on a timer?
Like, losing his soul as soon as he stops suffering doesn't make sense, because he'll only go out and cause more suffering and then he'll be happy. And they don't want him to be happy.
So, what if his soul only leaves (or doesn't even leave, just... deactivates, somehow) for a short amount of time? Only long enough for him to have killed the people he cares about and to accumulate more sins to angst over?
It'd kill a bunch of people, but the Kalderash don't care about other people, they are about themselves and about Angelus' continued suffering.
It's vengeance, not justice.
Or, maybe not a set time, maybe until Angelus is perfectly happy.
It could keep going on like that. Any time one of them slips, any time one allows himself that one moment, the other will surface and take his place.
