(After the Prime 124 main event Narumi, hair unfurled, crosses from the curtain leaving her cheering fans behind her as she makes it to the backstage area with the Primetime Briefcase. She walks while staring at the case whilst ignoring the world around her, including a quick paced Joe Danes giving chase behind her.)
Danes: Narumi, congratulations on another fine night! At this point your assembly of special prizes might even surpass your record of championships! Narumi! Narumi! Do you feel any remorse for the harsh blow you have delivered to young Bruce just a moment ago to add to your coffers?
(This gets Narumi to break out of her zone as she stops and Danes accidentally bumps into her, then backs off receiving a strong response from Narumi.)
Narumi: Are you sympathizing with the House? After all they did to me and this company?! I did as I have since the start of this war, and that is tear the House down properly in that ring, which is more than can be said than people who either do nothing, take shortcuts to pretend to assist, and or try to steal my valor entirely!
Danes: Of course I understand that! But one can’t help but feel for the kid, he said he felt the company didn't believe in him and sent you to take away all he’s worked for, and anyone can tell how broken up he felt as he was told to leave the arena after you did just that.
(Narumi blinks as something did connect with her to put aside her feelings for the House, for just a moment.)
Narumi: It’s unfortunate he felt that way. Bruce is quite the talented lad, even I can’t earn Match of the Night alone after all, unlike MVP. It’s also too bad he was corrupted by the most vile creature in the history of the EWC.
Danes: Uh do you mean Alasto-
Narumi: Jack Severn! Why are people always trying to divert blame? Don’t think I haven’t heard the mixed reactions he gets the last few months, people can’t seriously be falling for his scam changed act!!
(Narumi lingers with disgust on her face until she does a martial artist style deep breath gesture to center herself.)
Narumi: Look, I don’t know why Bruce was made to defend the briefcase, but I haven’t understood most of what has been going on this season. You have to understand from my perspective, half my season was wasted watching random people get title shots while I was unranked when people who didn’t even have a ninth of my victories were ranked higher than me until yesterday. So you’ll have to excuse me that when they dangle a juicy slab opportunity in front of the hungry yokai that I do what comes natural to me, devour what is put before me and make use of every morsel I can get! I don’t believe in throwing matches, especially not right before I have a big PPV title match that I could use the momentum for. If it’s any consolation for Bruce and those who wanted to see what he could do with the briefcase, know that the Onihime doesn’t forget the tributes that are sent to be sacrificed to her and I’m going to make sure his defeat isn’t wasted as I wipe the slate clean and start again from scratch for a new EWC.
(Danes appear concerned with the foreboding rhetoric.)
Danes: You mentioned starting from scratch before Prime too.
Narumi: Things have gone all wrong as the stars from the 2010s have retaken the EWC and so many of the youth fall for the false promises of charlatans like Jack instead of following my example of being the first wrestler from the current 2020s to reach the Undisputed Championship and thus EWC fails to change. I don’t blame the rest of my generation, I take personal responsibility for not having led us properly and being too laissez faire with my approach. It’s too late for most of the non Shinijoshi, but when I firmly defeat these types of Morgans, Candy, and Xavier Reid the next generation after will truly be able to build a new EWC where young people and people from various backgrounds and races can prosper. Things are already looking bright again in my pursuit, Rampage is back on air and the Prime GM has recovered from his personal issues just in time for Carley and Aiya to get back to bring Shinijoshi back to strong form! Now the championship rankings have me as number one contender for the International and Hardcore Championship, I’m no longer being held back on the sidelines.
Danes: You do know who the International Champion you’re number one contender to fight is, right?
(Narumi becomes quiet, then turns around, while she denies caring; it is something that stirs emotion in her. She shakes her head and looks at the Primetime Briefcase then looks forward.)
Narumi: Of course I know who it is. I told the world before my match with Emiko, my human side would only take the forefront that one last time to test my student as master vs apprentice. I mean what I say. But now isn’t the time to worry about fighting friends, it’s time for me to win the Hardcore Championship.
Danes: You mentioned the paradigm of the EWC will shift in true when you cash in the Primetime Briefcase too.
(Narumi looks down at the briefcase and smirks.)
Narumi: Correction. I said MY briefcase. And now with this one, I have a powerful realization.
(Danes’ raises an eyebrow but chooses not speak as he notices the wild look in Narumi’s eyes as she grasps Primetime.)
Narumi: This decade is mine for the taking. Mine.
