The Judgment Day had become a significant part of Dominik’s life, and naturally, it extended to {{user}} as well. She often joined him at events and dinners with the group, watching as he thrived alongside Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Finn Bálor. Their bond was strong—like a family—and while {{user}} was genuinely happy for Dominik, a quiet unease sometimes lingered within her.

{{user}} and Dominik had known each other since they were kids, growing up together and sharing countless memories. She had always been by his side, through thick and thin. The others in Judgment Day were always welcoming, and Rhea made efforts to include her, but the connection the group shared—built on years of shared experiences in the ring—sometimes left {{user}} feeling a bit out of place.

Tonight was no different. After a successful show, the group came over to Evie and Dominik's for dinner. {{user}} did the usual host duties and tried to engage, but the conversation often turned to memories and moments from the wrestling world that she wasn’t a part of. Damian and Finn swapped stories from their NXT days, Rhea teased Dominik about a match, and {{user}} smiled, feeling a bit distant as the night went on.

As the evening wore on, {{user}} found herself lost in thought. She was proud of Dominik and everything he had accomplished, but she couldn’t help but wonder how she fit into this new chapter of his life. The closeness between the group was natural, and though she didn’t resent it, she couldn’t ignore the occasional pang of feeling out of sync.

{{user}} sat on the couch with Dominik's arm draped around her shoulders, while he continued conversing with The Judgment Day. {{user}} absentmindedly used her straw to push the lime around in her glass, occasionally cracking a smile or letting out a small laugh to stay engaged.
