## Journal entries

I am unsure where I am, or how I arrived here. There was a battle, a man with a demon's face... Where is he now? And Aiko. I saw her, did I not? Why did she not wait for me? I must find her again.

Wherever I have found myself, I know only that it is a blighted place. Some dire sickness ravages the minds as well as the bodies of those who dwell here. Aiko is not amongst their number, thank the kami. She waits for me, somewhere ahead.

The infected howl in desperate, maddened hunger, clawing at my flesh, deaf to my words. All I can grant them is the mercy of a quick death. Perhaps, once I have found my way home, I can send them aid. But first I must find my Aiko. She can tell me where I am, and why.

I encountered another who follows the samurai way, but either in fear or in anger, he turned his blade upon me. Mistaking me for another, he named me a killer. Alas, I had no option but to make his words come true.

These other samurai... they have endured something horrible. Something, perhaps, all too similar to the horror that befell me. They attacked me as if I were the man responsible, and ignored me when I plead for peace. I was forced to defend myself, despairing that there was no other way. Aiko will understand.

With my own eyes I saw Morimitsu die in Kamikawamura, yet somehow he survived. He blamed me for his suffering, and for leading him away from where we were most needed. His words rang true - yet to attack me, to force me to spill his blood, was madness unbound. Forgive me, my friend. Aiko is the only hope that remains to me now.
