>"I... I don't have a drive anymore. I don't have anything fuelling me. I'm a dulled weapon being pointed at things and doing what I'm told to do. Dojo? PUSSY? Popularity? Did any of it ever mean anything..? Did it matter to you? Or did we just delude ourselves?"Amy takes a slow sip from the untouched champagne bottle.
>"Winning is only a part of this game Hol. A positive win/loss record or a catalog of five star matches won't keep the lights on in winter, we've got to make as much money as we can while there's still enough bumps left in us to do it.

I know you think you can do this by yourself but you're miserable. I know how disciplined and skilled you are, you're Holly Hope-Again, the Alpha! Listen, I know I fucked up before and you have no reason to trust me but I want to help you..."Amy leans forward, steeling herself and moving into a kneeling position.
>"I'd like you to consider coming to visit the Divine Mansion as my guest. No pressure. No obligation. Just come and see what DA has to offer. We have the best facilities, the best staff, the best food, you can even watch the champ train up close if you want. Most of the stuff you hear about DA is bullshit, sometimes we make up our own rumours just to see how many of the dirtsheets will bite. I found a support network in the mansion and I'm happier than I've ever been... I'd really like to see you in an environment where you can thrive too."
