I wiped my tears and looked at my friends. They were still worried, but I'm a bit more calm now.
"Sorry," I started, "I know it's stupid to tell you guys to stop feeling. It's just overwhelming."
"Overwhelming? How?" Matthew asked.
"I- I soak in your emotions. I guess... it's like a power

That fire... people were hurting a lot. I could feel it and it's very overwhelming. That's why I'm always tired and-" tears built in my eyes again, "I have to make my own positivity while taking in everyone's negativity and it's just a lot."

"Get some rest," he said, "we'll talk more about this later."
My eyes closed and I felt myself get lifted up before being completely consumed by sleep.
