	[[Black Samurai\|Akira]] is contacted by [[Jacqueline Grant]], who is in need of a ride because her car is in the shop; it's happening more often and she can't afford to replace it. When he arrives at her mobile home park, [[Black Samurai]] is confronted by a few [[Ancients]] gangers who want to know what he's doing on their turf. They dial down the aggression somewhat after he explains that he's here to help out [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]], and he complements her kindness. They flash a katana at him to try and keep him in line, but [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] asks to see the blade; he complements the ganger's effort to upkeep the blade and offers to help the young ganger find a blade that's higher quality if he wants to move beyond a mass-produced blade down the road.

	[[Jacqueline Grant]] and [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] drive down the road towards Puyallup City. [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] shows [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]] pictures of his dog, as is tradition, and he confides that he's trying to figure out who he is beyond a professional stabbist. As this conversation continues, the two see a trio of gangers wearing [[Cutters]] colors harassing motorists. As they attempt to drive a vehicle off the road, [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] pulls down the back seat and grabs his helmet and bullet proof vest from the trunk. He asks [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]] to continue driving, and apologizes, before jumping out the back seat and onto the back of a [[~~Cutters~~]] bike.

	As [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]] speeds off on auto-pilot, [[Black Samurai]] draws the nodachi sheathed on the side of the [[~~Cutters~~\|~~Cutter~~]] bike and jams it into their front wheel; both [[Black Samurai]] and the rider roll off the bike scuffed. A second [[~~Cutters~~\|~~Cutter~~]] blasts [[Black Samurai]] in the chest with a shotgun, and [[Black Samurai\|Sam]] begins to regret not having his full armor. He knocks down the ganger who was piloting the bike he had flipped, then--after being shot again--manages to knock the gun out of the hands of the second biker. The third biker arrives to find his ganger buddies subdued, and [[Black Samurai]] manages to intimidate them into standing down instead of fighting for his life.

			How does the quote go? How many people need to call you an ass before you start shopping for a saddle?

			On one hand, I think we're hitting critical mass. On the other hand, I think people are concerned because I'm not the same person I was when we met...and I'm not convinced that's a bad thing. Me not loving everything about what I'm doing or who I am isn't proof that I need to cheer up; it's evidence that I should change...and I'm taking steps to do that.

			I'm not sure how effective it'll be; I'm not sure who I'll be when I come out the other side. And I'm definitely not sure who will be beside me at the end. That doesn't mean I shouldn't get a little support but--uh. I'm not sure what I can even tell them without them reporting me to the cops...so how helpful could they be? For now, I'll keep the number in my phone. We'll see.

A series of scenes that depict [[Black Samurai]]'s lull in organized running. As the big jobs in Seattle dry up in the wake of the DA's pinch on organized running, [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] is left to figure out who he is outside of a murder hobo.

	==~~Background~~==		==Lunch and Lies==
			[[Black Samurai\|Akira]] and his sister Finn meet for lunch at a greasy hole in the wall. Finn plans to spend the summer in LA to work in the industry. She worries about [[Black Samurai\|Akira]], who has clearly not gotten a real SIN after their Renraku SINs were burned. He quells her worries about his financial state, but not his emotional well-being. He shares photos of his paintings, which are--for the most part--high quality for amateur art. She refuses to leave until he takes the commcode for a therapist she recommends. He saves it to his commlink, then stuffs the napkin in his drink to destroy the ink, worrying his sister further.

			==The Ride==
			[[Black Samurai\|Akira]] is contacted by [[Jacqueline Grant]], who is in need of a ride because her car is in the shop; it's happening more often and she can't afford to replace it. When he arrives at her mobile home park, [[Black Samurai]] is confronted by a few [[Ancients]] gangers who want to know what he's doing on their turf. They dial down the aggression somewhat after he explains that he's here to help out [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]], and he complements her kindness. They flash a katana at him to try and keep him in line, but [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] asks to see the blade; he complements the ganger's effort to upkeep the blade and offers to help the young ganger find a blade that's higher quality if he wants to move beyond a mass-produced blade down the road.

The third biker arrives to find his ganger buddies subdued, and [[Black Samurai]] manages to intimidate them into standing down instead of fighting for his life.

	~~==The Plan==~~		He explains afterwards that there was a girl in the car, and the gangers pretend to be understanding to preserve their health. [[Black Samurai]] hitches a ride back to his car from one of the gangers, and [[Black Samurai\|Sam]] lets [[Jacqueline Grant]] know that he's okay.

			==Dinner with an Old Friend==
			[[Black Samurai\|Akira]] meets up with his friend and mentor, [[Masuyama Kijuro]] at the dog park. [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] brings coffee and danishes. As the two eat, [[Masuyama Kijuro]] talks through his concerns with their friendships. [[Masuyama Kijuro]] is loyal to Renraku, but also to [[Black Samurai]]. [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] punched a Renraku businessman during [[Family, Duty, Honor]], and that businessman is still looking for him, wanting to see him arrested for assault.

	~~==The Run==~~		While [[Masuyama Kijuro]] has never been asked to participate in finding him or pressed for any information, he's unsure of what he should do. [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] asks his friend for a simple heads up if his friend has to sell him out. [[Masuyama Kijuro]] falls quiet, contemplating the nature of their relationship.

	[[Jacqueline Grant]] and [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] drive down the road towards Puyallup City. [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] shows [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]] pictures of his dog, as is tradition, and he confides that he's trying to figure out who he is beyond a professional stabbist. As this conversation continues, the two see a trio of gangers wearing [[Cutter]] colors harassing motorists. As they attempt to drive a vehicle off the road, [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] pulls down the back seat and grabs his helmet and bullet proof vest from the trunk. He asks [[Jacqueline Grant\|Jacqueline]] to continue driving, and apologizes, before jumping out the back seat and onto the back of a [[Cutter]] bike.
