"Theatrics and deception are powerful weapons."

I don't deny that. They have been.. useful teachings, if not exactly good. And it is a slight pity that I was never proficient at either of them.

Lying, pretending and acting is as intrinsic to me as wielding a slim, elegant masamune blade in the left hand and a bloodthirstily sharp muramasa in the right (particularly since my right arm is stronger and less clumsy..)
Wielding two such conflicted legends together will probably cause the practitioner to hurt himself.
As would I if I try to pull off crafting out anything other than what naturally is.

In any case for a person who can hardly ignore his guilt, this can't possibly be my path.

But when your opponents seem to make use of these pretty well, you can't help but wonder if all you're doing is to disadvantage yourself in the face of what already looks like seemingly impossible odds.

And all in all, its not a certainty that people appreciate someone who is unable to deceive, lie or scam anyway. More would see him a fool.

Tsk..
