The descent.

I've been framed. Over the past few days, I've been framed for a crime, thrown off the Great Sky Whale and have lied. I've lied so much to keep myself and companions out of trouble. I've insulted others to get them away from me, I've been working with an untrusted group of people called the Spider Web. I lied my way out of trouble, lied my way into an Inventor's Fair which ended in me holding my Wakizashi, a blade I designed for myself when I turned my life around, at a poor, innocent mans throat. I threatened hundreds of people at bomb threat and then stole a good mans device that he worked hard on making... I eluded the authorities only to destroy the machine and pledge allegiance to people I barely know...
 
I feel like I'm slipping. I've worked hard to get to where I am but I have been disobeying the tenets of the Way of the Samurai. Justice. Respect. Honour. I have betrayed them and, in turn, betrayed all the Samurai in my life. I have no excuse for what has been happening, regardless of the circumstances.
 
I need to be better... or I’ll become what I once was.
