"Really!" She confirmed with a comforting smile. Mio's curiousity brought some much needed levity for Mina. It was hard watching the young woman struggle with her true self. She was afflicted with a terrible anxiety based on societal and learned pressures. Anxiety was a malicious, irrational beast. And if it wasn't tamed it could lead to disorder.

"It's called exposure therapy! We're going to have a match! And win or lose, I think you'll come away with the answer to your question and a better understanding of who you are!" She leaned forward, watching the girl's reactions. It wasn't entirely a ploy to be intimate with her. But Mina couldn't deny the personal benefits for her recommendation.

It certainly wasn't an answer that Mio expected, and her reaction pretty much showed that. Her eyes blinked once, her expression dumbfounded. She looked as if she had to take a moment to fully digest Mina's statement. All of a sudden thoughts about what could happen when she tussled around with the woman rushed into her mind, and her cheeks blushed slightly.

"A... a match..." she repeated. "Y-you really think it'd work...?"

Mina watched as Mio's cheeks flushed. That was the look right there. If she'd had a bookie she would have bet the house on her panties being ruined. It was the affirmation she needed to be sure that her therapy would be effective. Mio was a hopeless pervert. That wasn't her problem. Her problem was that she needed help accepting it.

"I'm certain of it!" She nodded sternly. "It'll either be your retirement match or your new debut! What do you say Ms. Mio? Isn't it about time we discover who you truly want to be?"

Mio gave Mina's words some serious thought. A match that could have been her last or the start of a new chapter in her career sounds like a fair solution to her dilemma. It didn't look like she'd lose anything from doing it. In fact, this might be just what she needed.

"I guess... I'll do it..." she said to the doctor. "I... um... I'll be in your care, then..." the raven haired girl smiled meekly at the woman.

"Wonderful! Then with all due respect, I mustbask you to leave! I have some preparations to make. I'll see you on tonight's card then!" Mina said as she escorted little Mio to the door.

Wait. Tonight? Did Mina have connections like that? For a show like this she certainly did. LAW management knew that special attractions like Mio drew big money. Not to mention how it effected their social engagement numbers!

Mio was certainly about to find out. Hopefully she kept her ring gear in her car!

"T-tonight...?" Mio was even surprised by what Mina was said afterwards. "That soon...?"

She could only wonder just how the doctor was going to set up a match so quickly, but Mina seemed pretty assured that they'd be able to do so. While she's still uncertain about a lot of things, it seemed like she'd have to prepare herself for a match tonight.

"A-alright..." she'd give Mina a little nod before leaving the room, and she'd head back to her place in a hurry afterwards, her mind filled with mixed emotions.
