I'm used to having to slip out of school or other events for hollow attacks. I do what I have to. Yesterday was the first time I felt any bit of guilt for having to postpone a conversation to stop a monster. Daria-kun came over and in the middle of an important conversation, I sensed a hollow. There was no choice, of course. I had to go. She is just a really... special girl. She's different and I enjoy being able to speak to someone my own age with intelligence. I hope that my dedications never come between us.
I don't believe I've really explained what it is I do, and what a hollow is. In the most basic sense, a hollow is a human spirit turned into a monster that eats souls. As a Quincy, I kill them with arrows made of my spirit energy. I kill monsters, in the simplest words. I see spirits. I can sense others with spiritual pressure. I am not special because of this. It is a blessing and a burden, no matter how much pride I feel for my clan.
Until yesterday, I never once felt like I wanted to be just another teenager, with no responsibilities. There's someone occupying my thoughts. Maybe I am just like everyone else after all.
hollows,
