NFW Trauma #89 - 11/19/2022!

Jenny Williams vs. Nakita Niles

Neither woman wasted time with a lock-up as Nakita went for a German suplex, but Jenny countered with a hard DDT, spiking the other woman’s head hard to the mat. Williams was quickly back to her feet, wasting no time in running at the ropes to project herself off of them, going for a springboard moonsault. Niles rolled out of the way fast, leaving Williams to collide with the mat while she got back to her feet. Glaring at Nakita, Jenny got back to her feet as well but was met with a quick and hard spear from Niles! Both women hit the mat, but Nakita jumped back to her feet and grabbed Jenny, pulling her up as well only to execute a beautiful swinging neckbreaker. She leaped to her feet again, but Williams wasn’t far behind her, nailing Niles with a hard clothesline, sending her crashing back to the mat. Williams wasted no time in gabbing Niles by the hair, yanking her up to her feet. She held onto Niles’ hair, ignoring the referee’s warnings as she pulled the woman towards the closest corner, proceeding to slam her head against the top turnbuckle repeatedly.

When the referee began counting and threatening disqualification, Jenny finally released Nakita’s hair, raising her hands up in feigned innocence as she smirked at the official. As Jenny confidently turned back towards Nakita, who had been, briefly, slumped against the ropes, she was met with a hard kick to the abdomen, causing her to double over. Niles grabbed Williams’ wrist and whipped her into the opposite corner, putting as much force behind it as she could muster to make the other woman hit hard. Pausing for the briefest of moments, Nakita eyed Jenny before taking off toward the woman, nailing her with a vicious running high knee. Niles backed up, looking as if she was going for another running high knee, but Williams moved just in time, causing the other woman to get her leg caught on the top rope. Jenny took advantage of the situation, using it to take a small breather until Nakita got herself off the rope only to turn on the other woman. She charged at Williams, appearing to go for another spear, but she was met with a Sweet Dreams! With Niles on the mat, Williams quickly climbed the turnbuckles and leaped off from the top, going for Stock Market Crash! The shooting star press connected, and she pinned Niles with the referee sliding to the mat to make the count.

The Ringmaster vs. Subie Bruh

Before the bell rings, The Ringmaster motions to The Ringmistress to do something, prompting her to run over to the ring announcer’s seat and snatch her microphone up.

Seth Ernst: What the hell?

The Ringmistress: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! The Ringmaster is thrilled to announce a special special opportunity!

Seth Ernst: Special opportunity?

Miranda Augustino: Special special! Get it right, amigo.

The Ringmistress: As the NFW Genesis Champion, he wish wishes to extend an offer to his opponent that she cannot cannot refuse!

The Ringmaster smirks wickedly as Subie Bruh starts to look confused. The crowd murmurs amongst themselves.

The Ringmistress: He would like like to make this match…a TITLE DEFENSE! The Genesis Championship on the line line!

The crowd gets a bit excited now as The Ringmistress nods eagerly, looking up at Subie Bruh in the ring.

The Ringmistress: You accept-cept?!

Subie Bruh looks around, shrugs and nods, motioning for Ringmaster to bring it on. The referee waits to confer with Thea Crawford who looks to the commentary team. A moment later, Seth Ernst looks up from listening to something in his headset and nods.

Seth Ernst: Folks, I just got word from General Manager Isabella Santiago, herself. This title match is a go!

Thea Crawford: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is now for The NFW Genesis Championship!

Miranda Augustino: Two title matches in Canberra! Let’s gooooooooo!

The Ringmistress snatches the mic back…

The Ringmistress: Best of luck luck!

And drops it at Thea’s feed, forcing her to pick it up as she scurries back over to The Ringmaster’s corner.


Once the bell rings, Subie Bruh steps out of the corner, looking for a collar and elbow tieup but as soon as she lunges, The Ringmaster slips underneath her arms, winding up behind her. He pivots around on his heel as Subie turns and NAILS her with a Discus Clothesline. Subie’s down on the mat, holding her jaw as The Ringmaster stands over her with an incredulous look on his face. He’s almost insulted at how easy it was to get one up on her that fast. Ringmaster picks Subie up and lifts her up into the air, dropping her down into a Brainbuster with an emphatic reaction from the crowd as they hear the impact. He pops up again and showboats around the ring, spreading his arms out to the sides.

The Ringmaster: Is this all that’s left? IS THIS ALL THAT’S LEFT?!

Subie starts getting up again, slower this time. The Ringmaster steps back, allowing her room to regain her footing but he’s shaking his head in disgust. Once she’s up on her feet, he comes off the ropes with a Rolling Elbow, dropping her again before falling upon her with a second downward elbow strike - The Final Act! Cover!


Ringmaster pulls Subie up by her hair, breaking the cover and laughs, getting a boo from the crowd. He shakes a finger at the audience, crazy eyed now.

Seth Ernst: Oh, c’mon! He had the match won! There’s no need for this!

Miranda Augustino: Man wants to make a statement, Seth!

The Ringmaster: Not until the curtain is drawn, ladies and gentlemen!

The ref starts counting as Ringmaster pulls Subie up by her hair, releasing her only when she’s on her feet. He then hooks her arms and twists, lifting her upside down against his back and delivers the Curtain Call (Vertebreaker)!! Cover again!


Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, and STILL the NFW Genesis Champion…THE RINGMASTER!

“The Netherworld Circus” plays as The Ringmaster rips his title from the hands of the referee, holds it up high and takes a bow to the booing crowd. The Ringmistress leans over the unconscious Subie Bruh and waves “bye bye” to her as the cameras shift elsewhere.

La Sirvientas de Yum Kimil vs. Heroes 4 Hire

La Profeta directs her charges to enter the fray as always but Watson and Richardson are waiting for them and flip them over the top rope onto the apron. Lady Death and Santa Muerta are both sent to the floor. Watson goes diving through Richardson’s legs and the crowd loses its collective mind. La Profeta runs up behind Richardson and gives him a low blow before rolling him up.


Shinobu moves in and catches La Profeta for a spinning belly to belly suplex. He holds for the cover.


The painted warriors pound on Shinobu and then go and get some of Richardson as well, knocking him down with a double clothesline. Watson climbs up onto the apron and the painted competitors give him a double dropkick. They put Shinobu out and then hit a double elbow drop on Richardson. La Profeta covers him.


La Sirvientas take Richardson over to their corner. La Profeta tags in Lady Death and the three take turns working the man over before a double dropkick allows La Profeta to cover again.


La Profeta tags out as Shinobu comes back in. La Profeta and Santa Muerta are taken down before Heroes 4 Hire hit Heroes Honour on Lady Death. Richardson covers.

=Wolf Creek Deathmatch=

Damon Cross vs. Kasey Kash ©

Thea Crawford: Ladies and gentlemen, your main event of the evening is for the NFW Undisputed Championship…!

The Crowd: WOLF CREEK DEATH MATCH! {clap-clap, clap-clap-clap} WOLF CREEK DEATH MATCH! {clap-clap, clap-clap-clap}

Thea Crawford: The only ways to win the Wolf Creek Death Match are with a five-count pinfall or a knockout! Introducing first, the challenger…

Lights converge on the stage before the match starts. The rock-rap band Hero Up is ready to play with Leina Rael-Anderson-Debaillion on lead guitar and vocals in place of her late father, Markus Rael. The Canberra fans give them a loud ovation as they start up their cover of "This is War"!


A few moments later, Damon Cross walks out onto the stage, swathed entirely in red instead of his usual black and white.

Thea Crawford: From Lacombe, Louisiana, he weighs in at two hundred twenty-four pounds… He is “The Unforgiven” DAMONNN CROSS!

Right on time, Leina begins to sing -- and her vocals are highly impressive!


Damon stops near the band, nodding to his daughter behind the microphone. The fans heap their boos and hatred on the Redeemer, who seems happy to be awash in their negativity. He makes his way down the ramp, both fists raised into the air, and rolls into the ring as Hero Up keeps right on playing... maybe even a little harder to be heard over the packed house!


Mid-ring, Damon pauses and puts on a sinister grin before walking over to the steel guards and standing on the middle steel chain ropes, spreading his arms out wide and yelling at the Canberra fans:

Damon Cross: "SAY MY NAME!"

More rage is the response and that's exactly what Damon is looking for. He drops down to the canvas, leaning against the buckles and now glaring at the stage, waiting for the champion to make his entrance.


Hero Up finishes and they receive some cheers for their efforts, though Leina clearly isn't happy about their reaction to her Pops…

Seth Ernst: That was one hell of an entrance! But the reaction of the fans…

Miranda Augustino: It resembles the hatred for the God of Ascension! ¡Qué horror!

Stepping out from behind the curtains is a young woman whose familiarity strikes diehard wrestling fans: Maricela Reyes, Danni Anderson’s long-time best friend. She accompanies Leina who brings the electric guitar with her and helps her to her seat beside Seth and Miranda. Leina keeps the guitar at her side and puts on a headset, while Maricela stands relatively close by.

Leina Rael: Phew! Uh… can you hear me?

Seth Ernst: Loud and clear, Little Miss Rael. Great performance!

Leina Rael: Heh, thanks!

The cameras start up backstage, where we can see Kasey Kash standing backstage at the curtain, as Christian Lawson makes his way into frame.

Christian Lawson: ”Kasey! A moment of your time?”

Kasey turns and cracks a half grin.

Kasey Kash: ”For you mate? Absolutely mate.”

Christian turns to the camera for a moment, beginning his regular introduction.

Christian Lawson: ”Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to The Christian Lawson Project, with a regular of this program, ‘The Resident Asshole’, Kasey Kash. Now Kasey, only two questions for you tonight, the first one being this, we know your track record in these sorts of matches isn’t the best… I mean, I think it’s two and one? What makes you so confident tonight that you will pick up the win against, quite possibly, your hardest challenge to date?”

Kasey chuckles for a moment, turning to the camera, then at Christian, almost as if to say ‘Are you serious?’

Kasey Kash: ”Let me make it crystal clear for you, mate. When I’m in my hometown, with my people? It’s a different Kasey. This is the Kasey Kash of old, it’s like… these people light a fire underneath me. These are my people… this is my fucking show. I know I don’t have the best track record in this match, but I know that I’m undefeated in this match in my home country… Damon doesn’t stand a chance.”

Kasey adjusts the belt on his shoulder, looking into the camera.

Kasey Kash: ”I’m that fucking confident. I’ll make his little girl cry, and his girl weep at the sight of her precious man getting fucked up.”

Christian remains stoic, not giving a reaction to Kasey’s harsh feelings towards Damon, instead opting to continue with his questioning.

Christian Lawson: ”So Kasey, last question for you tonight. What’s the plan with you facing Kai Morgan at WrestleWar?”

Kasey takes a deep breath, looking uncomfortable with the question.

Kasey Kash: ”We’ll umm… we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Tonight my focus is Damon, and retaining my titles.”

With those words, we hear a familiar theme begin to play.


With that, a smile grows across the face of Kasey Kash.

Kasey Kash: ”I believe that’s my cue, it’s always a pleasure, Christian.”

And with that, Kasey walks out of Gorilla and through the curtains.

Thea Crawford: Aaaaaand his opponent…!

As the opening of "Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)" by Run The Jewels begins to play in the arena, the lights begin to pulse to the bass of the song, and the crowd loses their mind. This is the first time in years that Kasey has made his entrance to this song. He makes his way out to the stage, wearing his old pink ripped ring tights, pink suit jacket, and bandana that the Canberra faithful remember him wearing from his time in OATH, with both versions of the NFW Undisputed Championship over his shoulders. He looks out over the people gathered in his hometown before holding both belts up in one hand, and throwing up the Murk Squad sign with the other hand to a massive pop from the crowd, as Trauma announcer Thea Crawford introduces him.

Thea Crawford: "Currently making his way to the ring, from Canberra, Australia, weighing in at one hundred and sixty-five pounds... He is The Underdog from The Land Down Under... The REIGNING and DEFENDING, NFW UNDISPUTED CHAMPION... KASEY! KASH!"

Kasey smirks at that introduction, before throwing both versions of his championship over his shoulder again. He’s strutting down the ramp to the beat of the song, high-fiving the members of the crowd before looking at the fans, dropping the belts on the ramp, and taking a running dive into the fans!

Leina Rael: Ugh! I can’t believe they’re supporting this a$$hole… After all the sh*t he’s said about my family!?

Miranda Augustino: Well, chiquita, he IS the Resident Asshole of Canberra! This is his turf.

Eventually, Kasey makes his way out of the group of fans, before picking up his belts and continuing to the ring. He stares at his father's creation and more importantly... Damon Cross. Kasey slides under the bottom rope and climbs the steel chain ropes, posing for the fans with both belts, before hopping down and handing the golden leather straps to the Trauma senior referee Yumi Akiyama.

Seth Ernst: The roles have truly been reserved. The fans are booing Damon Cross… and cheering for Kasey Kash!

Leina Rael: I hate it here.

Miranda Augustino: Like I said, this is Kasey’s turf! This Wolf Creek Death Match is his father’s creation! Damon has one hell of a fight ahead of him.

There’s no hesitation as Damon Cross and Kasey Kash immediately confront each other in the center of the ring. In an unexpected twist, Damon punches Kasey right in the mouth -- much to the chagrin of the fans! Slowly, Kasey turns to face Damon with a smirk, a tiny amount of blood trickling from the left corner of his mouth. Kasey’s quick to retaliate, Damon fires back, and Yumi immediately signals for the bell!


Kasey and Damon are relentless in their assault. Rights, lefts, closed fists, stiff shots, and pure hate. There’s no technical showcase. No mercy. They’re literally trying to kill each other! There’s an arsenal of weaponry that surrounds the ring -- steel chairs, large panes of glass, barbed wire, tables, light tubes, thumbtacks, a ladder… and God knows what else! Seth isn’t sure if Leina should actually be out here, but Damon and Danni’s Princess is far too stubborn to leave. She watches her Pops nail Kasey with a cactus clothesline, sending them both over the top rope and out of the ring.

This is where the violence truly begins. Damon retrieves a pair of light tubes and smashes them over Kasey’s head! Even though more blood is drawn, Kasey grabs a couple of light tubes himself and smashes them on each side of Damon’s head! The shattering of glass flies around. A fresh cut along Damon’s temple draws blood from HIM. Kasey smirks and grabs a steel chair, but Damon’s quick to grab another, and the two begin to duel with the steel weapons! Damon jabs Kasey’s ribs with the top end of the steel chair, causing him to double over, and slams it across his back! Fighting through the pain, Kasey bashes Damon’s left knee with the steel chair before driving it over his head! Damon falls down to both knees and grits his teeth, hissing in pain. Kasey looks for an overarch chair shot, but Damon surprises him with the “White Thunder Bomb” (Pop-Up Sit-Out Powerbomb) -- THROUGH A SET-UP TABLE!

While the fans are booing, they also enjoy the display of violence. Slowly rising up, Damon doesn’t bother to go for a pin attempt. Rather, he grabs Kasey and rolls him into the ring. Before he follows after the Champion, Damon walks over and grabs the bag full of thumbtacks. He brings them into the ring with him and pours the dangerous contents on the mat. Yumi backs up as Damon stands up straight and pulls Kasey up. He’s looking to deliver Kasey onto the thumbtacks using “Weight of the World” (Omega Driver), but Kasey escapes and seizes Damon -- right into a sunset flip powerbomb to the outside AND THROUGH A GLASS TABLE!

The Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

At the commentary table, Rael visibly flinches at the horrible sight before her eyes. Ernst and Augustino slightly rise from their seats to observe Cross as he’s arching his back in pain. Kash hisses through grit teeth and climbs out of the ring. From under the ring apron, he brings out a deadly weapon -- one the Canberra fans recognize as Sheila, a large cricket bat wrapped in barbed wire! Kash notices Cross slowly beginning to gather himself and smirks. Setting Sheila aside for now, he grabs Cross and drags him away from the shattered glass. He then lifts Cross up and back body drops him ONTO CINDER BLOCKS! Cross is in absolute agony, arching his back with a pained groan. Then, and only then, does Kash grab Sheila and begin to assault him with the disturbing weapon!

Kasey Kash: Oi, Cross! Do you regret this now, cunt?!

The assault almost seems to never end. Even Rael has to cover her eyes for a moment. After several excruciating seconds, Kash tosses Sheila aside, grabs Cross’s bloodied form, and rolls him into the ring. He follows in after Cross and goes for the cover, hooking the leg. Akiyama makes the count!


Under normal circumstances, the match would end at three. However, the Wolf Creek demands a five-count. Kasey shakes his head and continues with the offense, ending a combo with “Method to the Madness” (Fireman's Carry transitioned into a Roundhouse Kick)! Damon falls but just barely misses the thumbtacks! Kasey scoffs at this and regards the commentary table where his titles lay strewn. He rolls out of the ring in pursuit of the gold… No, his attention is actually on Leina! Maricela’s quick to move forward, but Kasey raises his hands to show he means the little girl no harm. Of course, this doesn’t stop him from flipping her off! Meanwhile, Damon’s actually beginning to move, rolling out of the ring slowly.

Kasey Kash: Did you make sure to get your “Pops” life insurance? He might be seeing your Daddy real soon!

Neither Seth nor Miranda are pleased by this. Narrowing her eyes and clenching her fists, Leina rises to her feet.

Leina Rael: Oh, yeah. You’ve been so f*cking “brave” to insult my Dad… I didn’t realize your old man raised a B*TCH!

She returns the favor and flips HIM off! Kasey’s actually a little irritated by this!

Kasey Kash: The fuck did you just say, ya little cu--?!

CRACK! In the distraction, Damon grabbed a kendo stick and broke it over the back of Kasey’s head! Kasey staggers forward but doesn’t fall down. Seizing Kasey, Damon drags him over to the ladder that’s laid out on the floor and drives him ONTO IT with “Dragonfire DDT” (Double-Arm DDT)! It bends under the weight and force! Despite this, Damon refuses to go for the pin attempt; this, alone, won’t be enough. Rolling Kasey into the ring, he follows in after him and pulls him to his feet. Suddenly, Damon ensnares Kasey in “Father’s Sin” (Half-Nelson Choke/Redrum)! Yumi’s eyes widen; surely he knows he can’t win via submission!? Kasey begins to struggle, fighting for several agonizing seconds. Just as he’s about to break out on his own, Damon transitions him right into “Godkiller” (Father’s Sin-into-Suplex) -- RIGHT ONTO THE THUMBTACKS! Kasey’s back immediately arches, revealing some of the silver thumbtacks stuck in his flesh! NOW Damon goes for the pin!


The fans are relieved by this! Damon smirks; he knew this wasn’t the end, but still. He takes control of the death match, leveling Kasey with stiff shots. He even rolls out of the ring for a moment to bring in a couple of panes of glass. Damon sets them up vertically at one of the corners and turns to Kasey once more. Seizing Kasey, Damon looks to send him straight into the glass with a Greco-Roman throw, but Kasey denies it! Twisting around, Kasey Irish whips Damon towards that particular corner -- though he barely stops himself. BUT KASEY BLASTS DAMON! “Going The Distance” (Last Shot/Shining Wizard) THROUGH THE GLASS! While Damon’s clearly in a lot more pain all of a sudden, Kasey’s still weary, falling beside him in the ring. Yumi shakes her head and begins to count them.


Both men are stirring with life -- certainly on adrenaline. There’s blood everywhere.

The Crowd: FIGHT FOR-EV-ER! FIGHT FOR-EV-ER! FIGHT FOR-EV-ER!

Cross slowly rolls out of the ring and falls onto the floor. Kash pulls himself up using the steel chain ropes. Seeing where Cross is, Kash gingerly steps out to pursue him. Cross must be acting on pure instinct because he suddenly rolls back into the ring. When Kash goes after him, Cross drops him with a familiar-looking signature: his wife’s “Stars-a-Dancing” (Sitout Facebuster)! Some of the fans are displeased by this, but it’s an unpredictable move that’s worthy of respect. Damon’s slow to gather himself, seething with pain, but he rolls out of the ring to bring in a couple of tables -- wrapped with barbed wire! He sets them up, Akiyama backing up to allow him to do this, and then he looks out towards his daughter. He points to the electric guitar to the surprise of the fans! Ernst seems concerned, but Rael informs him that it’s actually a replica. She’d never risk the original!

Cross rolls out of the ring in her direction. Rising from her seat, the Cutest Little Badass hands over the replica of her late father’s guitar. Cross nods, rolls back into the ring, and stalks Kash, who is slowly pulling himself up using the steel chain ropes. Just as he barely turns around, Cross SMASHES the guitar over Kash’s head! Somewhere in Heaven, Markus Rael has to be smiling. Kash slumps over the barbed-wired tables in the center of the ring and Cross is quick to properly lay him across the wooden furniture. Breathing heavily, Cross steps out onto the ring apron and grips the top steel chain rope. He’s exhausted and yet he’s still going. Cross takes a leap of faith and springboards himself -- Kash is merely a second too late to move out of the way of “White Redemption” (Springboard Swanton Bomb)! THE TABLES BREAK UNDERNEATH THEIR COMBINED WEIGHT AND THE FORCE! It takes a moment, but Cross covers Kash and Akiyama makes the count!


There’s a loud burst of cheers from the Canberra fans! Rael is SCREAMING! She can’t believe it. Ernst and Augustino can’t believe it. Most of all, Cross can’t believe it! He rolls over onto his side and groans. Despite the agony, Kash is weakly chuckling. With both men down, Akiyama begins an official count, and the fans go along with her.


As expected, Cross is the first to move. He begins to push himself up onto one knee and takes a deep breath. Then ever-so-slowly, he attempts to rise to his feet.


To the surprise of many, Kash is beginning to move as well. He has to crawl towards the steel chain ropes and use them to pull himself up.


At the exact same time, Cross and Kash are on their feet right before the “Ten!” The fans applaud this, showing their genuine respect for both men. Cross and Kash turn toward each other and soon they meet in the center of the ring. Blood continues to seep from their aching bodies and yet they attack each other. Shot after shot, closed fists connect, and they’re staggering from depleted energy. Their battle leads them toward the panes of glass held up by two steel chairs. With a kick to the midsection, Cross attempts to pull Kash up for a second “Weight of the World” -- only Kash is able to escape, AND HE COUNTERS! “Fuck You and All Your Friends” (Ripcord Bicycle Knee)! Cross staggers from the sudden impact and slumps against the nearby corner. With a stumble, Kash takes a deep breath and lifts Cross up to the top. He drives a couple of stiff shots to Cross’s bloody temple to disorient him. Everyone watches as Kash ensnares Cross in a rarely seen yet dangerous position -- “Not Here To Fuck Spiders” (Joker Driver/Electric Chair Driver) THROUGH THE GLASS! The fans are absolutely CRAZY about it! Ernst, Augustino, and Rael watch as Kash transitions his desperation finisher right into the pin attempt. Cross’s shoulders are down!


There are tears in Rael’s eyes, the stinging causing her to shut them. Compassionately, Ernst places a hand on her shoulder. It’s even bittersweet for Augustino.



Thea Crawford: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match… AND STILL the New Frontier Wrestling Undisputed Champion…! “The Canberran Anti-Christ” KASEYYYYY KASH!

The standing ovation from the fans in Canberra, Australia is extremely deserved! There are cheers for Kasey Kash, but there’s also a round of applause for Damon Cross. Yumi Akiyama checks on them; both men are simply lying on the mat, a complete mess. One of the ringside officials collects the Undisputed Championship belts from across the commentary table and hands them to the Trauma senior referee. She then places them over Kasey’s chest who slowly yet tightly clutches them with a weak grin.

Miranda Augustino: Ayyy Dios mio… WHAT A MATCH! Kasey Kash really can’t die!

Seth Ernst: Damon Cross deserves all of the credit in the world, Miranda. He was a second away from becoming the first-ever wrestler to hold BOTH the World Heavyweight and Undisputed Championships!

Leina Rael: . . .

Seth Ernst: Are you going to be okay, Leina?

Using the long sleeves of her Hero Up shirt, Leina wipes her tears away.

Leina Rael: It is what it is…

Miranda Augustino: ¡Pobrecita! It’ll be okay, sweetie…

The Fiery Fifth-Grader slowly rises from her seat and places the headset on the table. Seeing this, Maricela Reyes comes over to help her niece by spirit. While Kasey’s slow to get up, Damon begins to slowly roll himself out of the ring, shards of glass stuck in his body. The gruesome visual doesn’t shake his daughter as she and Maricela come over to shoulder him. Naturally, Maricela has to be the stronger support between the two. Finally, on his feet, Kasey turns, looks out toward Damon… and simply nods. A sign of respect? However, while Damon returns the stare, he is otherwise unresponsive to Kasey. Damon slowly pulls away from Leina and Maricela to walk on his own. This is, of course, to Leina’s dismay, but she begrudgingly understands. Clearly, it demonstrates his strength. Leina and Maricela follow Damon up the ramp, all the while Kasey simply looks on with a bloody half-smirk.
