Wellington Dunne opens the door to Cheez's room, and upon entering is greeted with a usual site. A smiling, happy Cheez. Dunne looks a bit confused.
"Well, you certainly seem chipper than you usually do have a loss, especially after two in one night. I was certain you'd be in one of your, woe-is-me, depressive states."
Cheez looks over at Dunne as goes to grab an extra PS4 controller from his shelf.
"Normally, you'd be right. Most of the time after a loss, you would find me here feeling bad about myself. But not this time... Oh by the way they just released the new Ninja Turtles game want to play?"
Cheez takes the controller and hands it to Dunne.
"Maybe some other time, not right now. I'm just confused. I mean, I'm not... I'm not used to seeing you happy after a loss.
Cheez sits down and sighs for a bit.
"Well, it's like I said before. Yeah, you're right, normally after a loss, I would be sitting in here beating myself up. But I've learned something about myself that night.”
“And what would that be?”
“I learned that my biggest opponent in this endeavor that I've chosen to take myself on has been myself. And, I'm not just talking about the G1. I mean my entire career so far. I have been my own worst enemy, and I learned something about myself.”
“That you can take a beating harder than most people think you can?”
“Okay, two things about myself. The other thing I learned was that for most of my time here. I have constantly felt like I didn't belong here.
“Now wait just a goddamn minute. I have told you time and time again that you, Cheez, belonged here.”
“I know you have and I'm grateful for it, trust me. But… But there were times when I also felt like you were just saying it to say it. Like you didn't mean it, and that you were saying it to make me feel better. But, I think somebody outside of NWL like Nelly Angel shaking my hand after the match. It showed me that maybe I do belong.”
“Perhaps.”
“I'm going into my next match, with the only person in my group with 0 points, Beau Traywick. And, the truth of the matter is I don't know about him. And, that gives him an advantage over me. But, I also know that I'm confident myself now. And, confidence can be a great motivator to success.”
‘This is very true, but you have done something Beau hasn’t done yet.”
“What’s that?”
“Beat The End. Remember it was you who pinned Scott Fargo to end their title reign. That, and you haven’t alienated yourself from your friends as he did with Waylon Kirk.”
Cheez smiles.
“When even your best friend, hates you. You know you’ve made some enemies. But, that’s neither here nor there. But what I do know Beau, is one of us leaves with nothing.”
