Now that's refreshing- someone who actually wants the details.

Yeah, it's the same as before. Mostly. I didn't realize at home that the ability was the problem, because- well, I don't know anything else, right? So it had to be something else that was making everything turn out wrong.

I tried having a relationship, thought I'd found my real parents. They told me they could rehabilitate me at their Company and- I was an idiot for believing them. They wanted a guard dog, someone powers that they could throw at problems. My girlfriend lied to me about my true parents to keep things status quo.

I burned it all, once I found out. The Company, the 'family', the girlfriend. All of it.

If I found my real parents, maybe I could figure out if this ability was hereditary, if there was any way to shut it down or make it less...destructive. Maybe they'd have some answers. Or maybe I can keep the nanomachines, I guess. I have that here, too.
