Law of Darkness Dojo and Seppuku

Heya guys

Just asking the obvious question - If I seppuku an honour loss caused by someone using Law of Darkness Dojo, do I lose one or two honour (well, one then one)? Specifically, let's say one of my samurai personalities is targeted with Game of Sincerity. I chose to have him commit seppuku - how much honour would I lose in total?

Thanks, Mark

The seppuku reduces the Honor loss from the Battle action to 1, which still triggers Law of Darkness Dojo, so you lose 1 Honor again from its trait, for a total loss of 2 Honor (1 + 1).
