Taking Sides

Once again, Talia found herself in her happy place. A sterile room to herself, a nearby staff, and her own television to watch something other than wrestling. She changed the channel a few times and found someone cooking something Japanese. The captions weren't on so she couldn't really understand everything that was said, but the girl didn't mind. She had her own words narrating what was happening in her head. When the person pulled some fried seafood out of a pot, Talia managed to smile imagining it. It had been the only smile she had made since she had gotten to the hospital.

Talia's right arm was braced up. The victim of a rather nasty armlock, the girl felt completely dispirited. What she had planned as grand gesture to get into Taylor's head, to try and finally get her attention had completely backfired. She interrupted (and flat out ruined) Taylor's match with Chigusa in vain. She received so many boos and jeers that in the heat of the moment she managed to brush off. However, after watching the replays herself later on, they all really sunk in considering she didn't even succeed in what she went out to do. She effectively made everyone hate her, even Cassie. That was probably the worst thing. It wasn't Taylor or Chigusa that injured her, it was her own friend Cassie.

Talia even knew somewhere else in the hospital was the two idols she had attacked. As comfortable as she was in the bed, she wanted to leave and just get out of this all. At least in Tension, she only had to worry about physical pain. Here, she had to face it all, emotional, psychological, AND physical pain. It was just too much for the young petite girl. The doctor had told her they needed to do one more MRI before determining just how bad she had injured it. Regardless of the results, she knew she was going to leave Tokyo, cast and all if need be. She quietly sighed as a commercial came onto the television. She knew just two channels up was Friction, but there was no way she would watch that.
