One.
Massimo. Hey there, Lemmy.
Lemmy. Hello.
Massimo. Wanted to come up for a visit, you know.
Lemmy. Yes, I know.
Massimo. Whenever, I’m here. You’re always in your room.
Lemmy. It’s the only part of the house that’s mine.
Massimo. I see. You know, I read a story about a samurai that reminded me of you. Do you want to hear it?
Lemmy. Okay.
Massimo. Well, there was once a Samurai who excelled in his technique as a swordsman. Villagers said that he was beyond the point of conscious fighting. That ment that he relied solely on his instincts for the movement of his sword. He cleared his mind of everything and killed his enemies with incredible control and precision. Some villagers were afraid that when he would go into his unconscious state that he would kill anything that moved, even his own mother, but there was a time when he confronted an enemy who held a child as hostage thinking that the Samurai would not go into his unconscious state in fear of killing the child. The Samurai told his enemy that he was a coward to hold a child hostage, and that he would die holding a child who did not love him. He then immediately went into his unconscious state and killed his enemy just as he told him. The child fell softly onto the body of the fallen enemy. All the villagers realized then that the Samurai could express a moral discernment in his instinctive state. Villagers that led honest lives were not afraid of the Samurai, but those who cheated and stole for a living feared him.

Two.
Massimo. There was another Samurai who could also move his sword without consciousness, but he differed from the first Samurai. He killed people without discernment. Enemies of the Samurai would die, but so would innocent villagers. He believed that he did not carry the right to decide who would live or die, so his unconsciousness would start killing without warning. The Samurai claimed that he was just a vessel for his unconsciousness. That he was not responsible for any of the deaths. The villagers argued among themselves about the Samurai’s claims until the Samurai severed all the limbs of seven schoolchildren. The Samurai had to be stopped, so the villagers looked to the first Samurai.
