That's one way to spin it, and probably how I'd frame it if I was mafia.Or you knew Day 1 looked bad, so you tried to make yourself look better by doing this, with the intention of MDK using his kill at the end of Day 2 if he was headed out. That's the only special power he had, and as long as it was used, other mafia voting him out builds false trust.
I don't know what else to say. At this rate, at least if I get voted out, everyone will be able to target the people who leaned on my poor day 1 play in order to get me lynched.
