As the Parabellum Brand Warfare match rages on, the focus instead is on a much quieter part of Mai Khao Beach, where Ace King lays down alone, deep in contemplation. Despite being under the light of the Moon, Ace’s eyes are covered in sunglasses, and he winces audibly as he rubs his temples.
Ace King: I don’t know this feeling.
The weary Ace moves his head slowly from side to side, grimacing with even the slightest movement.
Ace King: Am I frustrated? Of course I am, I wouldn’t be a competitor if I wasn’t… but it’s weird to be at peace with it. Fair play to Malone, she did what she had to do… but maybe she saw something I couldn’t: Do I really find losing acceptable now? It’s obviously not in my nature, but instead of getting mad about it, I’m here. Maybe those headshots hit me harder than I thought.
Reflexively, Ace rubs his temples again, still very much in pain.
Ace King: And maybe, just maybe… Maybe it’s time for me to start accepting other realities, too.
With that, Ace sighs and lets his body relax, the waves lapping up on the beach the only sound around him.
