Duty of a Guardian

Angel, why do you guard her?

It is my duty.

Is she special?

Of course she is. We all are.

You know what I mean. Is she special to you?

Yes, I am her guardian of course.

Do you want to be? 

Be what?

Her guardian.

No,not anymore I suppose.

Why?

I made her angery, and it hurts me that I did.

Did you choose to be a guardian?

No, I didn't I was forced

Why would you be forced?

To feel any one person's pain any time day or night having your empathy magnified so you know that it is real that you are being called by their emotions not them is terrible

Did she want you to be?

No, nobody wants to know that their tears are making someone scream in agony. 

Why then? Why do you stay? 

Because I care.
