The building wasn't on fire when I went in. [sometimes... fires happen later...] I told him to wait outside while I found a man I am sworn to kill, but he didn't listen.
A white man. One out of four who were in my country around the time I was born. He and his ilk have been hunting me down as one of their bastards since the day I was born.
[HELP i guess she can also get the non-abridged version. mizu sighs.]
He's a foreigner. And foreigners are banned from entering my country. It's the law. All of the white men were driven out decades ago, before I was even born... Or that's what was supposed to happen. What the law says and what the shogun allows out of greed are two very different things.
To put it simply, my very existence is proof that Fowler and his business partners were allowed to continue their operations. Trading in opium, weapons and flesh. They've made the shogun a very, very rich man.
He's been kind to me since I was a child. But I've hardly done anything to repay his kindness. I spat in the face of it when I left to seek my revenge.

If my master will still have me, perhaps I'll return home. Back to his forge.
