I can be delicate when I need to be. And with Brian's telekinesis -- that was his name, the first guy I killed -- I can do just as much to help as I can to harm when I'm inclined. Like removing an inoperable blood clot in someone's brain without causing an aneurysm while not even having to open up their skull.
Which, again, sounds kind but I was doing it for blatantly selfish reasons then. Still... She was only 25, and she was rather sweet. It's better that she got to live more than another year, at most.
An extremely long one... with more than a few relapses. I think I tried to stop... five times before it actually took. Though, the first relapse was... Let's just say, the covert organization that was monitoring the population of individuals with abilities before the rest of the world found out wasn't as bothered by the murder aspect of my ability as I was at first.
Granted, they were also the ones that set it up for me to realize that wasn't how my ability worked. But that's what happens when you have compartmentalization and not everyone is in on everything. The person who knows what needs to be done doesn't get involved until it's too late.
And I did. It was a hard road. And honestly this is more like my... sixth or seventh second chance. But this time it stuck. I was lucky. Very lucky.
