"Okay, I can do that." He whispered, giving her a gentle smile. "Just keep breathing."

With that, Jacin started his tale. 

"I suppose I had a normal enough childhood... I had a younger sister... she died when I was younger." He swallowed hard, looking down. "There... wasn't a competent enough doctor to save her. So I became what I couldn't have as a child."

"Yes. Because, somewhere out there, there's a child like me, watching their loved one die and unable to stop it. I need to help those people... so that they don't end up like me."

He rubbed his brow in thought. "Because you're a person and people deserve to be helped." He said simply, looking up at her.
