>>19220586With the victory over Mare Equine, it would seem she wasn't ALWAYS guaranteed to fall against War Horse in singles competition. Though she couldn't exactly feel good about the victory. You don't consider how awkward a night can get until you're the one alone in the villa with the entire stable and standing in the ring over one of the girls in it. She immediately made excuses.
>(I'm sure I only won because she had Onigiri-san on her mind...)>(Or maybe she just felt bad for me?)Surely not, but one's own guilt tends to make them warp the thoughts of those around them to fit their desire to hate themself.
A victory over Ash Romero, and managing to make Zunigoth pull deep into her arsenal for something that Shogun couldn't have foreseen...in a way, those were reasons to celebrate. This win, too, purely on paper. Maybe, just maybe, if the Jersey Devil didn't get too far ahead...she could turn this around.
Did she even want to, though?
...right, another thing to address. She calls for a microphone.
>Everyone...please, listen.>I know this will seem like a platitude, but that truly was one of the hardest fights I've had in this competition. Two back to back, but THAT...well, that was truly wonderful.>Mare Equine's a force to be reckoned with, but if I didn't feel bad about not giving her my best...I would have laid down in this ring, and for every other competitor too.>I'm sorry, for what I did. I don't know why I did it. A moment of weakness. I suppose. >At the end of the day, I'm just as vulnerable as everyone else to corruption. Though I insist what happened with Yokoko Zuna was an accident, what happened with the Jersey Devil was not.>I believe that a certain form of karma is the reason why she's leading the pack right now...but maybe, by fighting honestly like this, that's the way I can make it up to all my fellow wrestlers, to all of you, and...hopefully, to myself.>That being said, I know there's a certain someone who plans on digging into me...
