However, her focus shifted when she was approached by a member of the staff just as she reached the entrance to the locker room. "E'isa, hold up! We've got a match scheduled for you tonight," they said, their expression a mix of urgency and eagerness. A wave of confusion washed over her, she had been under the impression that her evening was reserved for training.
