Did you kill anybody before you got recruited to Overwatch?

[flowlikewater]

...yes, unfortunately. Usually on the orders of my family.

[franciscoramon]

That's so messed up.

[flowlikewater]

Indeed. I regret it. As I said before, I was not a very good person. I didn't lose sleep over it.

[franciscoramon]

It makes me sad you had to go through that, but it scares me, too.

Like I know you didn't have a choice and you aren't like that anymore, but it still happened, you know?

[flowlikewater]

It is scary. Even though I'm different now, my past it still part of me. I am at peace with it and my path going forward is to be better than I was before.

[franciscoramon]

Sounds like a good path to me.

I'm sorry I don't know how to just ignore it. For whatever it's worth, it's not just you. Sometimes it seems like everybody I meet here was a killer at some point. But... so many of them are good people. Or they seem like good people. It's an adjustment.

[flowlikewater]

You were an engineer, right? This was never supposed to be something you had to think about. I have long sense accepted the burden of doing what I do, but it's not a burden that should be placed on unwilling shoulders.

[franciscoramon]

But part of me knows it's only luck and chance that I haven't had to live through any "kill or be killed" shit like so many other people here.

And that's kind of awful, isn't it?
