>>19293177>[Sola reads Carmody's quizzical, if not shocked response and answers the question before it is asked.]"Yes, it's real. I was reading it over in the Dojo when you made that challenge for the five-minute match. I thought I could get under Priscilla's skin by ripping up her offer, but that was just a shopping list I had. My gamble backfired huge, I guess, since you've fought her twice and I wasn't even there with you, and I haven't had a match since the PWE where I lost. I thought I could maybe get myself a match with her myself or even just stay on her radar or something, but -- well, it didn't happen. I stuffed this into my jacket and left as you talked to her. When you found me in the showers later, I was terrified you'd see I still had it with me, so I blew you off. It was wrong of me, and I'm so sorry."
"You don't have to give details about the contract she offered you, but gosh, even one like this would change my life. I could finally get out of this Dojo. I mean, still train here, of course, but my own place to... have people stay at or share with someone, that could be life-changing, you know? Ah, I mean you do know. Not that Col- sorry, no, we can talk about that another time. I don't really know how I would even bring this up to Priscilla, though. The last time I was even at the Mansion, I was threatening to fight Nikki on the front lawn to try and get Nika to come back here. It feels like a lifetime ago, you know? You know, Nikki even sent the security after me!"
