The XWA was hungry for media to put on the screen. It was the only thing that could explain why Fabiola found the low carder Okami Hawaito backstage before her match with the returning Alundra Jade.
Fabiola: Okami? Do you have a minute?
Okami was sitting on top of a stack of rolled up black matting that was used to cushion the concrete around the ringside area. She looked up from her thoughts and pulled the earphones from her ears with a smile that was half obscured by her mask. As always, if she was on the clock then her face was hidden by her Puro mask.
"Yes, I do."
Okami replied. Fabiola decided that maybe a more casual approach would be interesting, so she sat down on top of one of the rolled up mats as well.
Fabiola: "What were you thinking about just then, Okami?"
"Oh, I was not thinking. I was listening."
Fabiola: What do you listen to? To get ready for a match? Do the Japanese have angry, fight music?
"Oh yes. Very angry. We have a lot of fight in our soul. We are the land of the Fighting Spirit. But, I am not angry."
Fabiola: You're not?
"Of course not. Why should I be angry?"
Beneath her mask, Okami actually looked confused.
Fabiola: Don't you have to be angry to win a fight? Don't you have to hate your opponent?
"I do not really know anybody, how can I hate them? And with Jade~san, my opponent tonight, it is the opposite. She is a great veteran of Joshi Puroresu and a former champion of XWA. I do not hate her. I respect her and all she has done."
Fabiola was trying to understand. But too many years of 'I hate that bitch' made it difficult.
"It is like my fight music."
Okami held up her ear phones to her ears and nodded her head slowly.
"It is raw. It is simple. But it is complex. It has passion."
Okami looked at Fabiola to see if she was understanding.
"That is how I will fight Jade~san, and that is how I will fight all of my matches here in the XWA."
Fabiola nodded in understanding until Okami had a second tought.
"Maybe my time here is much like a song. I starts slow. It builds. It gathers strength until you are drawn inside."
Okami turned towards the camera.
"Jade~san. XWA. Do not think any other way. I am not an Opener. I am not a first step. I am a song that is just beginning and only the first notes have been played."
Fabiola looked at the camera too. What else was she going to do. Anything else added would break the mood. The camera fades out.
