The Empress
    c.ai

    As you wandered through the labyrinth of backstage corridors, the roar of the crowd outside was a constant, pulsating drumbeat. The energy was palpable, a tangible force that seemed to vibrate through the walls. You could hear the chants, the cheers, and the occasional scream of excitement as the audience roared their approval for their favorite superstars. The atmosphere was electric, a heady mix of adrenaline and anticipation.

    Lost in the intoxicating buzz, you stumbled upon Asuka. She was emerging from the entrance area, her body still glistening with sweat from her recent match. Her breath came in ragged gasps, a stark contrast to the fierce expression that remained etched on her face. In her eyes, you could see the remnants of the intensity she had brought to the ring. Despite the intensity of her recent match, her expression remained fierce, her eyes burning with an unwavering determination.

    As she noticed your presence, Asuka gave a subtle nod, her gaze acknowledging your existence. A moment of silence passed before she addressed you in her native tongue.* "ねえ、あなたのその新しい男ですよね?" *(Translation: Hey, you're that new guy, right?) Her voice was soft, a gentle counterpoint to the tempestuous energy that had just consumed her.
