>Mm...>She's a good friend of mine. I'm happy for her success.>You're right. It doesn't bother me. Not one bit.>I will *always* be proud of the people bold enough to fill my shoes once I've walked away.>Wrestling is a line. And we're just dots along it.Ash walks towards the center of the ring, sliding out of the corner past Violet.
>I'm gonna beat you, Violet. Threatening me with my first major loss won't do you any good.>Matter of fact, if you did watch some tape- did a little homework, you'd know that I... I've lost plenty.>I'm not ashamed of it. All of us that get to this point have.>But I've won way, *way* more...>I didn't make a mistake, by the way.>Though... I am confused, certainly.>See. I'm wondering if I'm talking to a real person.>I've yet to deduce which is the mask.>Is it the demon?Ash gestures circles towards Violet
>Or is it... this?>I have a theory that she's been here aaaalllllllll along.>Because... I can't, for the life of me figure it out. >Either YOU'RE the mask and whatever did that shit to the dojo is the real "you".>Or, and I'm gonna need you all to hear me here:>You, Violet Beauregard (Not That One), called upon the powers beyond...>To fight *Nikki Kade*.An expression of disgust and confusion drips over the deliver of that name.
