I need advice, I think I made a mistake, I'm really regretting it. Over two years ago  Germany has invaded the Nazis, today is thursday november 27th 1942 and i'm going to be asking you to give your very serious opinion.

Me and my buddy have been secretly adding pamphlets around Denmark for a while now, at first it was all fun in games but my sister Lisa found out and was begging to get in. I thought about it and came up with the idea to give her a mission to prove she's worthy, a mission she did and boy did she exceed my expectations. Not only did she do the mission but she vomited all over two German soldiers! Man I wish I was there but it's going to get harder and I know she knows that… But why does she want to do this?

Anyways Abemma should I have done what I did or not let her in the plan? In all seriousness have I done the right thing or should I have been smarter with my decisions?

Sincerely,  A Dwelling Dane
