She had spent months out of the ring, she had been nursing a knee injury. Yet, here, at this moment, she was victorious over the B1 Climax champion...

Frustrated with the idea that this was the only way for her to wrestle. And downright infuriated by the unanswered questions left in the wake of her sudden hiatus. If their places were switched, would things be the same? No. Romero had only one thought in her head as she stood.

There was a complicated storm of emotion behind her eyes. But part of being a leader, a mentor, is presenting calm seas before them.
