I'd never seen someone killed in person before. It was different from when Mom's patients have died, or even from when I've seen someone die on television during the games.

I really, really hope I never see something like it again.

It is complicated, the first time you see it happen.

[supplanted]

You've seen it more than once?

[killerbaseball]

I am an assassin.

[supplanted]

... Oh.

... That's the face I would have made too

[killerbaseball]

How old are you...?

ffft

[supplanted]

Twelve.

[killerbaseball]

I see... A rather young age to witness such a sight.

[supplanted]

Why are you an assassin?

[killerbaseball]

... What do you mean?

[supplanted]

You kill people for your job. Why?

[killerbaseball]

It is simply what I do.

[supplanted]

You don't have any reason why?

[killerbaseball]

What kind of reason could I possibly have?

[supplanted]

I don't know. That's why I was asking; I was hoping you'd tell me.

[killerbaseball]

... I have no answer for you, I'm afraid. It is my profession.

[supplanted]

But you picked it for a reason, right?
