>>19390037>[Back in the locker room, Sola can hardly stand. Her left leg is sprained or twisted or worse. Something snapped after the ladder match. Her first title match. Her first time in the ring with Amy goddamn Flame since she let Mare down some months ago in a tag. Why does the Imp make her go on such rants? Why does the presence of Amy Flame make her so angry? There are too many goddamn feelings inside of her about this place and the people and the way things work and it makes her want to just go scor--]>[Paule. Immediately, Sola is snapped back to reality. But she is so tired.]"Oh, hey, Paule. Long time no see."
>[A weak smile.]"Thanks. I tried, you know? Sometimes that's all you can do. Hey? Nah, don't worry about that. Just the thought of a gift is enough for..."
>[Sola listens to Paule's plea. The three of them. Three. Best friends. Three of them. Kanako, Carmody, Paule. Three... only three.]"Carmody and Kanako... I don't know. If they want to work it out, they will. Maybe they are right now. But... Paule, I have messaged you dozens of times. I stood up for you when Holly attacked you in the Dojo. We were there together in the hospital when Carmody was assaulted backstage. I wanted to know how you were after the Night Villa party. I want to know how things were going in Japan. When things went wrong, you messaged Carmody. But you didn't message me. In fact, you've never responded to a single text I've sent. They haven't been bounced back, so I know the number is right."
"So don't worry about Priscilla. Paule, you're being kind of a meanie to me."
