[ Her laughter dispels the weird tension that perhaps only John had noticed, and he returns a soft smile in response. ]

Okay, there are a few stories that I can go with, but I think I can talk a little bit about having this... business. Or specialty, I should say.

[ He looks thoughtful, and after taking a brief time to consider, he still doesn't really know what to call it. ]

I'm from a small city, pretty sure it's a place that people don't really know or care about. A lot of things happen there, and they're the kinds of things that people say are dark and weird and crazy, but they're the sorts of things that happen all the time. And I guess there was this incident that took place, happened a few years ago.

[ Here, he has a calm and slightly more serious countenance. ]

Ever since then, I've been able to see things that other people can't really see, things that have to do with the dark and weird and crazy stuff I mentioned earlier. Does that even make sense? Because I'll tell you about some of the things that I've seen working in this specialty, if you still want to know.
