As our scene opens you can tell it remains at a park, as it was previously. You can't see the sun, but you can tell from the lack of shadows exactly where it is. There's a fence up ahead that you can make out now that the camera has made it's way in that direction. You can't yet see beyond it but you see the back of one man. He stands there, arms over the fence resting. Looking out again as if he is searching for something, or perhaps at this moment he has found it?
You could never tell this from looking at him but allow me to guide you to the place that is Aaros' mind. He has the world zoned out. He has what is in front of him on his mind, among other things, but we'll get to that shortly. I'd be more than happy to tell you exactly what he is thinking.
The camera has made it's way closer to him now and has him center frame from the waist up. It edges slightly to the left, spinning this time ever so gently so you can see the side of his face.
Focused.
But at what? I would ask if you wanted to know, but we both know that's all you care about at this point.
The camera settles and doesn't move. The occasional eye blink is all you notice.
Aaros is conditioned. Conditioned for something that Jace O'Brien is not conditioned for. At first thought maybe you think it's wrestling? But wrestling is not the topic right now. Aaros has conditioned himself to a level beyond O'Brien in the category of emotions.
Emotions are the end of any good competitor. The moment they start letting emotions in is the moment they allow doubt in. O'Brien's head is currently filled to the brim with doubt and yet more is still flooding in. Simple worries about a loss. If it was really a fluke would it still be on his mind?
These are the thoughts, and the answered questions, pouring through Aaros' mind at this point. Seeing his competitor worried about another human, worried about a loss, worried about his own image to the rest of a locker room that he's striving for acceptance in. Could this fight already be over? While Jace finds himself concerned with all of that, Aaros is of a much different breed.
Humans do not find their way in to Aaros' path of concern. The same can't be said for Jace, as he spends precious time concerned over Georgia DeLise.
Outcomes of matches do not make their way to his thoughts. The same can't be said for Jace, as he worries about his past shortcomings instead of his future victories.
Opinions of those around him do not matter to Aaros. The same can't be said for Jace, as he wastes breaths caring about what others think so he can try to make those same people forget his failure they just witnessed.
Aaros worries about himself as that is all he can control. Aaros wants to win, but ensuring that a proper amount of pain has been inflicted for those who dare cross him is certainly a way to obtain victory, even without the pen marking the record book in his favour. Finally, opinions. There's no need to worry about those either. You just show up, you kick all the ass that you can, and you leave others no choice with their beliefs about you.
The camera backs off a little and allows you to see in the general area that Aaros has been staring. A small graveyard sits there with no more than 15 tombstones scattered around in it and a ragged fence surrounding it.
It's at this moment you realize that Aaros is not concerning himself with idle threats of death that Jace O'Brien hopes to bestow upon him. Aaros does not fear that fate.
Aaros locks eyes with you through the camera.
His look is emotionless. He closes his eyes and inhales through his nostrils, after exhaling he opens his eyes and speaks.
"You cannot kill what is already dead, Jace O'Brien."
He takes another moment to stare in to you before turning his head back towards the graveyard that is off in the distance.
The scene fades.
