I thought about how my life had drastically changed after the last few days. I had been on a downward spiral, but after meeting Mr. Honor I felt like I had a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to show up to class. Here he was feeling as if he had ruined my life, but I felt like he had saved it. He had saved me. I was finally living. ↗
If I lived by some code, my actions would become predictable. The enemy would take advantage of this and I’d be killed. An honorable death doesn’t exist. Death is death.

Un guerrero mataba a un guerrero y la honra se repartía entre ambos. Lo que Kume había sufrido no era muerte. Tenía nombres de vergüenza que un guerrero temía cargar a la eternidad. ↗
Your job today is to pass gas. You do that and we can start feeding you liquids. No fart, no food. ↗
