Guilt is a powerful infliction. 

You can try and conceal yourself from it, but that's when it sneaks up and starts to eat you alive.

Some people struggle to understand their own guilt, unwilling to understand the parts they play in it.

Others run away, shedding their being until there is no conscience left for them at all.

But, I run towards my guilt. Feed it because I need it, because for me, guilt is one of the only lanterns that still lights my way.

My name is Emma Maynard, and I'm trying to hunt down the one thing I need, and to get it, I have to hurt a lot of people on the way, but nothing is going to get in my way.

But sometimes even the best laid plans can get ruined.
