I dunno - it always seemed like they did. Angel and Spike didn't ever say anything that would make me think it was some 'random' soul - i dunno. It's one of those things that obviously ME thought was a cool idea but then didn't really think through.
I've thought about writing a story where Spike's soul *was* just a random soul - or was his that had been reincarnated a couple of times, or had been ripped out of the latest incarnation, who was now dead. Heh.
It does seem that if you have a soul, and then the 'demon' pushes it out or it goes away 'naturally' when you die - that getting it back after so long *would* make it seem like a seperate entity.
And thanks again! I love that my own personal kinks/neurosis about souls and such are entertaining!
