## Journal entries

I was taught that the way of the warrior is found in death. Yet my own death seems but a waypoint on a greater journey. Yomi, the land of darkness, is a place of torment and corruption, a place of trials beyond imagining. Perhaps I deserve no less for my failures, for my broken vow.

There are no answers here, only chaos, confusion and riddles. I walk as if in a fever-dream, uncertain of what my own senses tell me. Can it really be true that there is a way back to the world of the living? I have to try, else be damned to an eternity of regret.

Step by step, walk the thousand mile road. That is the bushido way., and never has it been more true than in these nightmare depths. Yet with every step, I worry that I have strayed far from that way. What even is it that I seek? Atonement, vengeance, or to be reunited with the woman I failed? Perhaps I cannot know until I reach Yomi's corrupted heart.

At every turn, I am deceived. I do not know if my passage through Yomi is a trial or a punishment. But I have seen the fate of others who could not leave this tainted place. Madness, monstrosity, malevolence. This is a fate I do not accept for myself, no matter my past failures. Onwards, and deeper.
