I never thought it would end like this. I never thought it would just end like this. A battle that lasted four hours and a half and it just ended like that. I always thought I was a good soldier, but some may disagree after what happened. And all of that could have been avoided if they had given me the correct information... If they hadn't lied to me... If they just had investigated a little more...

No. I can't think like that. It was my fault. I was the one who kept screwing up everything. I was the one that fought in the battle, so it's my fault. I'm the one in the bottom of the pyramid, so I can't blame my superiors. So I guess this is karma.

And because of that karma, I'm just standing here, froze by fear. I'm just waiting for it and I can see my whole life going in front of my eyes. I can see that everything was a web of lies; that everything that I said to all the people I loved was a lie... And I could never make up to them.

But I can now, because I will tell you my story from the beginning. And I hope everybody can read this, because this is a story that will reveal two espionage agencies. I mean, I'm going down, but I'm bringing them down with me.
