Robyn’s music hits and she makes her way out to the ring with a determined look on face and a mic in her hand. She stands silently for a few moments, before raising the mic to her lips.
“No one has seen my tag partner, my… girlfriend, for a month. Not even me. She’s… gone.” Robyn takes a deep breath. “She hasn’t been around the dojo that whole time, hasn’t called, nothing.”
Clearly emotional, Robyn hesitates before continuing. “As you can imagine, those first few nights after she disappeared were hard for me. The wait before I could file a missings person report, it was the longest wait of my life. And then after that, just living in dread of news confirming all the fears I had that something horrible had happened… that her body had been found… I wouldn’t have been able to bear that.”
“But nothing. Thank God. Then I remembered a letter she received a while back from her dad. I remembered every word because I read it to her due to her having some issues with reading. And in that letter her dad made her an offer, in exchange for quitting wrestling and being the person he wanted her to be, instead of being herself.” Robyn sighs. “She cried. I held her. And she turned it down. And the rest was history. The Birds of Prey soared. But now she’s gone and… I can’t help but remember that letter. And wonder if another one came.”
“And that made me angry. It felt like a betrayal of everything I knew about her as a person. It was a realisation that maybe just maybe, if this really is what has happened, every single thing this person I cared about ever said was a complete lie. Like I never knew the real her. And you know, maybe I didn’t. But the girl I knew, even if it wasn’t the real her, was pretty awesome. So I won’t sully what we had with bad feelings over unanswered questions. So good-bye, wherever you are.”
