>>10505639>Nah, I'm an only child, unlike this young lady.Her expression softens at the shift in tone the conversation underwent. Ash knew that coming back with this timing would feel like a funeral at times.
>Yeah... Your sister was one of the stars, right? Poor thing.>I dunno. Win or lose, Maria might want to look into stepping away from the ring. It's not a matter of "still being able to go", mind you. She's a helluva talent.>But she's a figure that a lotta folks look to for guidance. She's a role model.>One of the few peers I got that require me to look up, myself. If she beat that thing and called it quits, I'd still look up to her and I know I ain't alone.>As for why I'm here. I'm here to cheer the girls on. There might be a bit of truth to your speculation, but nothing I can "legally" say just yet, so "shh".Ash shushes with a little wink, hoping to lift the mood just a touch.
