Dear Diary,

Mizzi-chan won’t talk to me. She says I stole the spirit of the hunt and that there is none for her now. She talks of quitting and running away from home as I did. I warned her about bears but she will not listen. She wants to see open water.

My parents have tried to ground me but I snuck out anyway. Ha! They are not so smart.

Grounded. Parents very good at ninja tricks.

Mizzi-chan ran away! I do not know what to do! I feel a dark black emptiness inside myself since she left. Or perhaps that is my outfit. Unsure. Will investigate further.

Shuriken class is still a political nightmare. They drone on about being Masterless and free and yet keep us in this school like slaves to the Emperor. I tried to speak out about it but only got stabbed in the arm for my troubles.

Kokunha-san smirked, I could see the shape of his lips twitch.

Letter from Mizzi-chan arrived in secret today. She claims to have reached open water. Working on ship now. Says to call her Good-Eye Mizzi. Does this mean my love is a pirate? Must follow and find out.

While packing to hunt down Mizzi-chan… Good-Eye Mizzi, remembered bear. Need to find bear traps. Possibly explosives.
