I made a mistake. A big mistake. A mistake that is undoubtedly going to cost me my life. I strangled a Pikmin.

I knew it was wrong, I knew it was stupid, but he just wouldn’t listen to me! I got caught up in a fit of rage and rushed at him like a maniac. He stood there, wide eyed and frightened, my hands went around his little neck and suddenly, he was limp in my hand. His little spirit floated away and his body disappeared.

It was at this time when several other Pikmin fainted and died, probably because of the pure shock, and the rest ran away into the onions. I can’t get them to come out. They’ve been in there for several days. I’ve tried to coax them, to apologize, to bribe them, I just can’t get the to come out.

I’m stuck here on this planet, and every minute is precious time that is slipping away from me. My ship is still not capable of interstellar flight, and without the cooperation of the Pikmin, I fear there isn’t much hope for my return home. I’ll do what I can over the next few days, but things are looking grim.

If I don’t make it home… well, you know what happened. Tell my wife I love her.
