you know, i've never really understood why everyone around me is so interested in mortals. they're pretty useless and a waste of resources that we need because well, we're immortal and they're just going to die anyway, but i was the only one who saw it that way. no mortal has been able to change the way i see it, not until he came along. the boy who changed it all. when he was born, there wasn't anything special about him so i just observed him silently as i was told to while growing restless. as he aged though, something was changing, he was different. i just didn't know how. it was something i could feel so, i started observing more, learning his habits, his schedule, hobbies, anything that could tell me why. i found nothing. i needed to know. i submitted a special request to the higher-ups to get involved with his life, which i've never done before. since this was the first i've asked, the people in charge put it through immediately. this is the most scared i've ever been, i'm used to keeping to myself and doing the minimum amount of work possible but now, i'm going to meet a mortal. i'm going to become part of his life. i need to think of the right way to do this. i'm going to change this guy's life and i'm still not sure if it's going to be for the better. i should decide sooner rather than later because according to our rules, after the request has been approved we have 72 hours to make first contact. if you don't interact before the 72 hours your request basically times out and you're too late but. if you've made contact you're allowed to stay until they either get suspicious or die because after all, they are still just mortals.
