Yuki Kazikura had fought to her absolute extent, and she could certainly feel it, even after the match. She had to hobble her way backstage to the locker rooms, her whole body having grown sore and weary, and her skin was slick with sweat, her breath short and hot. A nice, long shower would feel good, she thought - it would be just what she needed after a match like this. Just coming into the room, and hearing the water running in the distance, Yuki felt a profound sense of relief, a smile coming to her lips.
But Yuki, of course, wasn't alone. Her opponent, one Elena "Bola de Nieve" Salcido, had followed her, and she was in a very similar state. Even if the two had just met for a simple match, it soon proved to be a high-intensity clash of styles, with joshi puroresu going up against lucha libre, and the two girls had used every inch of strength they had, eager to prove they had what it took. In the end, Elena had come out on top, if only barely - but the two had only respect towards one another, as fellow athletes whose skills were well on par with one another.
As she passed by where her locker was, Yuki looked back at Elena, turning to the bench to start pulling off her boots. "Er...you can go ahead," she said. "I'll meet you in there..."
