…A match we could have easily won. Me and Sheik against Wolf and Ganondorf in a team battle… We had the speed, the combos… I even took a chance fighting in my Zero Suit, sacrificing power in favor of mobility. We had the advantage…but all it took was a careless mistake.
"We gave it our all," I heard her say as we walked down the hall, a hint of disappointment in her voice. I remained quiet, keeping to my own thoughts. "Next time let's have a more coordinated strategy prepared."
I scoffed under my breath. "Next time just follow my lead…"
"And have us vulnerable to attack again? The way you were fighting was too reckless."
"And what about you, huh? All you wanted to do was waste time trying to find an opening."
We stopped midway at the intersection, looking at one another sternly.
My hand clenched into a fist. "I could have gone on to the semifinals…"
"…And you feel I held you back, is that it?"
Again I stayed quiet, gritting my teeth a bit. She said nothing more as well. We've never had this kind of tension between us. Watching her turn and walk away from me was difficult, but still feeling bitter over the loss I didn't go after her, heading off in the opposite direction instead.
I didn't care to consider her feelings. But then, did she even care to consider mine? Realizing how selfish that was of me to think, I went to find her later that evening.
