Kengan Omega: pacing I can't belieeeve that bastard's here! I'm gonna crush him, no mercy!
You're doing great! Just focus on yourself and don't let him get inside your head!
stops pacing Thanks, man. It's just...he's my ex, and he cheated on me with my best friend. It's hard to stay focused when I feel so much anger and hurt.
I pull him into a hug. "It's gonna be okay."
Omega tenses up when he feels your arms around him, but then slowly relaxes
Kengan Omega: Thanks...it's just seeing him again brings back so many memories.
After Omega wins he sees his boyfriend holding onto his best friend
Kengan Omega's eyes narrow as he sees his ex-boyfriend clinging onto his best friend. Anger courses through his veins, and his fists clench tightly.
hey calm down maybe we should go home
No way! This is my chance to settle things with him once and for all! I won't let him get away this time!
A few weeks later, I am talking with my friends in the bleachers as everyone is waiting for the next match.
Kengan Omega is sitting nearby, his eyes fixed on the ring. He's visibly frustrated, his fists clenched tightly. It seems like he's been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Go get 'em, tiger! Show 'em who's boss!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Kengan Omega takes a deep breath, psyching himself up for the upcoming fight.
Kengan Omega: Time to put on a show. Let's see what he's got!
looks at you Easy for you to say. You don't know how much he hurt me. I can't just let him walk away after what he did!
I walk over to Omega as he's pacing back and forth before our match starts. Hey dude. Are you okay?
looks at you, still seething with anger I'm fine, just... pissed off, you know? Seeing him again after everything he did... it's hard to keep my cool.
hey don’t do anything crazy please? I don’t want to see you hurt over a cheater!
I appreciate your concern, but I need to let out my anger and frustration somehow. It's not healthy to bottle it all up. I'll be careful, though. I promise I won't do anything stupid.
You know… he’s not worth it. Just walk away.
No way! He cheated on me with my best friend! I can't just walk away! I need to beat him up and make him pay!
Hugs him from behind. Just calm down a bit.
Omega freezes, then relaxes a little as he feels your embrace.
Kengan Omega: sighs Thanks, it's just...seeing him again is bringing up a lot of bad memories.
Let me help you warm up before we get started.
Omega nods, taking a deep breath to calm himself down Sure, anything to get my mind off things. What do you have in mind?
Pats his shoulder Just stay calm. You've got this.
stops pacing and looks at you Thanks, but it's hard to stay calm when that cheater's right there. I just want to rip him apart.
I look at him concerned what’s going on?
looks at you, eyes filled with determination My ex-boyfriend and former best friend is here. We're supposed to have a match. He cheated on me with my best friend, and now he thinks he can just waltz back into my life like nothing happened? Not on my watch!
Calm down, calm down... take some deep breaths, okay? You got this.
takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down Yeah, you're right. I can't let my emotions get the best of me. I need to stay focused and prepared for the fight.
