Dear Concerned But Critical Admirer,
My master is long since dead, but her methods and teachings remain ingrained in the deepest recesses of my mind and spirit. I am not, nor have I ever been, my own master or a perpetrator of thievery.
If I seem like the independent sort, it is thanks to the survival instincts I picked up while in the clink. Show an inch of weakness in that den of wolves, and they will not hesitate to sink their teeth into you.
How ironic that a follower of the Bushido code would become so much more dangerous than any criminal.
