He does go back, eventually, but only after he goes through hell upon realizing the very personal consequences of his actions. Even though he tried to convince Angel back in A5.06 The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco that the work they do from the upper floors is just as important and helpful as the classic "helping the helpless" gig--moreso, even--it seems that he fell into the trap Angel feared back in A1.03 In the Dark:
Angel: (regarding "daytime people" and why he shouldn't become one of them) They have help. The whole world is designed for them, so much that they have no idea what goes on around them after dark. They don’t see the weak ones lost in the night, or the things that prey on them. And if I join them, maybe I’d stop seeing, too.
That's a really good point. The necrotempered glass on W&H and on Angel's cars and airplanes really act as a ring of Amara substitute, at least as far as sunlight is concerned. Angel's persistence in trying to continue going out at night saving girls in alleys as an effort to prevent losing touch.
