They'll never understand. How could they?

~~Gina!Six.~~

Understand what, exactly?

We can't block out the pain as well as they think we can.

Who is they?

Humans.

Oh I'm human just I do stuff not exactly out of the norm.

What do you mean?

I hunt the supernatural for a livin'.

Supernatural?

You know, ghosts, werewolfs, demons and all that she bang.

... well, that's certainly unusual.

Yeah I guess so.

I'm Rebecca

Gina. It's very nice to meet you.

Likewise Gina.

*smiles*

So what exactly does hunting the supernatural entail?

Well you don't get paid for it.

But, you rid the world of evil.

I guess you're kind of savin' the world.

Saving the world for a living? Sounds pretty heroic.

Yeah, it is.

But, you miss out on some of the important things in life.

I guess you wouldn't get much of a break.

Not really.

What do you do?

*looks down and sees son, picks him up*

I'm - I was a systems analyst.

You're a mother?

You were?

Yes, I am.

His father died, he was an hunter too.

Let's just say I sort of lost my job.

What happened?

He died on a hunt.

Jacob here, is only two.

I'm sorry.

... that must have been very hard for you.

Yes, it is.

Juggling hunting demons and raising a kid, not exactly easy.

You had help, I hope?

Sometimes, not all the time.

Good. It's always a struggle to multi-task.

It truely is.

Do you have children?

I - no.

I don't.

Oh..I am sorry to hear that.

No, it's alright.

It's just not meant to happen for some of us.

I guess not.

Sometimes it's impossible until they have done what you have.

That might be a little difficult.

I'm sure. No one should do the things I have.

I can sympathize.

What have you done? If you can say.
