You are treading dangerous waters, and I have been entrusted with your care. Though I wish to be only impassive bystander, I must guide you through this new enviroment, ****** upon you so quickly and without any warning. Though I wish to harbor only sympathy towards you, a single look in your direction renders me completely empathetic, until I can feel the waves closing over my own head, remembering vividly my own drowning, so far away and so long ago.

You are treading dangerous waters, and I have been entrusted with your care. Though I wish to be only impassive bystander, I must guide you through this new enviroment, ****** upon you so quickly and without any warning. Though I wish to harbor only sympathy towards you, a single look in your direction renders me completely empathetic, until I can feel the waves closing over my own head, remembering vividly my own drowning, so far away and so long ago.
