Hello diary,
As the sun sets, I find myself coming back to my journal. The sky has that beautiful pink and purple that reminds me why I carry on doing what I do.
I love my job, but I have never met another with my same abilities. Sometimes, I wish I would, other times I know that it is for the better good that I work alone. Seeing people contort into vicious monsters is not an easy thing to see.
Anyway, let's move on to the serious business. The reason that I have started this diary. Today was not too bad, however I did have to save a couple people. People are not always able to be saved, but it is nice to know sometimes that they can. One was a guy walking down the street. His secrets were big and hovering around him. I knew that he probably only had a day before he would have been taken over. So, I approached the man and started a conversation. I usually do this to distract them, maybe give them a compliment while secretly I am taking the weight off their shoulders. He seemed a bit hesitant, but I am used to that, and after a few seconds I was done with the conversation. Unfortunately the only way to do it is by absorbing the secrets, there may be another way but I have never found it.
The next person I helped was a lady. Her secrets were more vicious and angry, already tearing away at her. I knew she had mere hours before she would have been done for. We were in a cafe, as I was grabbing dinner, so I did as I mentioned before, went and started a small talk conversation. The aura of the secrets was strong, and holding on tightly, making it a bit harder for me, but I knew I could do it. After some struggle, the fight was over and the woman was free. I always enjoy when I can see the relief of the person, even if they do not show it completely.
That concludes my words for today.
End entry.
