Bayushi Shizuka Political Open: Target a Personality. After the next time (this turn) his controller assigns him, targets him, or resolves an action on a card in his unit, his controller loses Honor equal to his Personal Honor, then dishonor him.

Wheels within wheels Open: Your target honorable Human Personality commits Seppuku. You may rehonor one of your Personalities. Gain 2 Honor.

If Shizuka targetted my personality with 2PH and i decide to wheels him, what happens?

1) Shizuka dishonors, lose 2PH, wheels rehonor then seppuku, then gain 2 2) Wheels seppuku, gain 2, Shizuka makes lose 2, dishonor in discard 3) Wheels seppuku, gain 2, Shizuka tries to make lose, but no longer in play, so it fails and fails to dishonor.

By strict wording, it seems more like scenario 1 due to timing for shizuka calls for targetting, but with ivory changes, i want to clear.

Thank you.
