Mentalities.

[troublednights]

I was assigned to visiting the families or known close relatives of the latest victims dealing with the box cases, to give them the news that someone they knew wasn’t going to be coming home.

The many reactions were rather straining on someone like me, some were stereotypical, sobbing, cursing, anger, despair and the occasional closing up

Uwaah, emotions are confusing. I guess people are really sad to see family go, ne.

[troublednights]

I believe everyones lost someone down the road, at one point or another.

[mimickedly]

Yeah, I suppose so.

Ne, have you lost anyone?

[troublednights]

Yes, I did- I lost a lot when I was little.

[mimickedly]

And you have a job where you have to deal with lots of losses?

[troublednights]

Unfortunately yes, I am a officer, but it's not always losses, I suppose the gains- they make up for it, even if we cannot save them all, at least we can save some.

[mimickedly]

Ohhh. Saving lives is good.

So.. you like your job?

[troublednights]

I do, there is no other job I would ever take.
I don't mind the threat of dying, is not so much a threat to me either.
Oh! I don't mean that in a big-headed sort of way!
I'm just not afraid of dying.
I just want to save those I can before I do.

[mimickedly]

No no, it's respectable, ne. People should be more like you.

[troublednights]

Oh no...that's a terrible thing to day.
No one should be like me.
I wouldn't want them to have the burdens I carry.

[mimickedly]

Maybe you should share the burdens then?

[troublednights]

Aahh...

I wouldn't want to trouble anyone with them.

[mimickedly]

I'm sure it's no trouble, ne.

[troublednights]

It is though.
As- I don't usually open this weaker side of myself to people in person.
