**sorry for the shorter chapters but as I hope you can tell…Leo's kinda gone off the deep end…he's not right in the head right now…so I have to portray his "thoughts" as such and try to make sense…

Back to the story now….

Chapter 19: Stumbling Through Fog

I am within clouds…fog…darkness…

Sorrow…fear…anger…sorrow…fear…anger…sorrow…

I drift.

Into darkness….out of fog…

I know nothing…

I am nothing.

Waiting for death…the blade to end it.

Fumeiyo.

Seppuku.

Meiyo.

Seppuku will return my Meiyo….my honor…

Tainted…soiled.

Lost.

Broken…shattered…

Nothing is left…

Hate….agonized grief.

Fog wraps around me…darkness consumes me.

I drift.

In.

Out.

A flickering light…snatched away…

I reach for it…only to fall back into fog and darkness.

Strange how fog attracts me…it hides me…

Darkness is the fear within me…

I stagger under the weight of my dishonor.

I drift.

I fade out.

I am suddenly jerked from my fog and dragged sharply back by pain like I've never known…

I am aware that I am screaming…pleading for them to stop.

I smell stone…water…

Shouts alert me to others around me.

I fade out again…lost in the darkness.
