"Fuck!" Cassie punches a locker in frustration, leaving a dent. If that damn Holly would have just kicked out, maybe her team could have won. Then instead of being in this predicament, Cassie would be the leader of a team that brought new leadership into power, and be guaranteed all the opportunities that would come in the wake of such a role. Maybe she should find Holly. Make her pay. This is her fault for being such a terrible team player. Everyone knows Holly doesn't play well with others. Of course she would be the one to drift off into another ring and get isolated by Steeli.
Steeli. Damn her. Cassie never imagined she'd show up for the match after the attack on her safehouse. Damn her and her whole team. Steeli. Raquel. Yokoko. Nikki?
Nikki. Cassie sighs as she thinks of her sister. The girl hesitated quite noticeably on a number of occasions before attacking her, a fact which had allowed Cassie to navigate what could have been a devastating 2 on 1 situation also involving Raquel early on in the match. If at any of those moments where Nikki hesitated, and Cassie saw the pain in her sister's eyes, she had simply walked away, out the cage doors and never looked back, perhaps their relationship could have been saved. But now?
Cassie sighs again. At least she still has Kasumi and Kelly.
