Aella Midori had been a name Touka had heard beyond just wrestling, for well over 20 years the two were very aware of each other, in different ways. First she was someone who she met backstage at wrestling shows before she feuded with her mother, and once she started to feud with her mom those encounters grew less and less pleasant. Once Ayane won the feud and Aella actually joined her after coming to see her as the best wrestler in the world they met even more...and somehow despite the fact that she respected her mom those encounters got even less pleasant. Touka wouldn't say she got bullied growing up but Aella was the closest thing to that she got, she didn't like how 'boring' she was compared to Ayane or that she didn't seem to have the same passion in wrestling, which lead to some...comments about her body that Touka didn't like. Ayane dealt with anyone who did her wrong, for all of her faults as a person she was a good mom to her but with Aella she seemed to develop a soft spot and at most she scolded Aella for the things she said but compared to what she usually she did Aella got off easy and she knew it. This only seemed to encourage her behavior and Touka wondered if secretly Ayane made Aella do it to see if she could goad Touka into action, but it never got worse than a few shoving match, Touka refused to play the game Aella wanted.
That is until she started to wrestle, she didn't consider that the one person she could say she didn't really like would remember her, happen to be in the same place as her children whens he joined, and was watching her matches for any signs of her actually wrestling. It was a storm that you could never have predicated and yet somehow seemed to be fate in a twisted way, because shortly after her victory over Eirina, she got word that Aella wanted a match and Touka could feel the implication that she would be running away if she didn't accept. Aella was going to insist on this either way, might as well face her and get it over with. At least she had something to surprise the fans with now, something she had been working on for a long time.
