>>19365130>>19365134>"Okay, so as you might imagine, I was pretty shaken up when I found out Kanako was teaming up with Lightning Nika. I asked her why that was, and she said that she was just forced to team with her by the office, and she didn't know about it until she got to the arena that day, right. Like, that doesn't sound right. Wouldn't she speak with Maria about that?"Carmody pulls up her phone and shows Ash the text she received from Kanako.
>"But then, after my World Title match..... which I can never thank you enough, by the way, for showing up to see me just before it happened. I didn't win that one, but just having you there took me out of a real dark place I was in. I'll never forget it."Carmody's face softens gratefully as she looks at Ash, and the conversation threatens to derail, but she takes a deep breath and makes herself refocus. Kanako. This is important.
>"Anyway, AFTER that match, Priscilla Divine did a promo. And I was pretty out of it at the time, having been choked mostly unconscious, but when I watched it back she said something that made me even more suspicious." Carmody has Priscilla's promo bookmarked on her phone, and she shows it to Ash.
>"Kanako broke into her home and 'took' Lightning Nika, Priscilla says. This, on the very day when Kanako told me she just got to the arena and was told by management she'd be teaming up with Nika."
