Stagehand: C’mon, Coda. You know me! We talked to each other a couple of times after all those Covenant attacks. Don’t you know my name?
Coda: You expect me to somehow retain the names of each member of the backstage crew I talk to while being a part of three companies at the same time? No. I have more urgent inquiries to think about, like tonight’s match against Olivia Blue.
The stagehand who asked the question seems shocked by Coda’s response, a hint of irritation on his expression, until another stage technician in an SRW-branded shirt puts her hand on his shoulder. The two exchange a look of understanding, while the Pint-Sized Kaiju has already absent-mindedly turned her back on the pair to continue her muffled monologue through her fanged oni-themed disposable surgical face mask to no one in particular. She doesn’t acknowledge the camera operator or seemingly even realize it’s there.
Coda: Olivia beat Lily Williams at Savage with a spontaneous flying neckbreaker she insists on calling “Outta Da Blue” despite its grammatical errors, yet Lily is unproven as well. On 1WM Glory 14, she fought Noelle Jansen — a much more seasoned combatant — who showcased that the trick to beat Olivia is that her neckbreaker is easily avoided with significant awareness. All I must do is—
She continues to mutter as the two stagehands leaning against the wall near a couple of equipment boxes watch her pacing the area with concern written on their faces mixed with a tinge of curiosity.
Coda: The variables are many! I cannot discern much from someone with only two available matches to their name, which gives me the disadvantage. Nevertheless, I must remain alert, be careful of what Olivia is capable of so I do not lose in the first round of this tournament in a humiliating fashion. As I am one of the first in the United States to beat the new Fury Road General Manager in a match, my success here directly correlates to…!
Coda stops herself to correct her selfish thought but continues to ramble calmly.
Coda: No. this would be discarding all Dokueki has done. Even so, she would not have put me in this bracket if she expected me to fail. So I must prove my resolve against Olivia Blue, take this tournament seriously, and become the last fighter standing as a number one contender for the Ultimate Conquest Championship should. I—
The male stagehand raises an open palm. Surprisingly, it stops Coda from wandering and causes her to wince with a worried expression.
Stagehand: Good luck out there tonight.
He smiles, as does his colleague technician next to him.
Coda: Thank you … Darrel?
The crew members try to stifle laughs, then the both of them smile warmly.
Stagehand: Close enough.
