The punch from Cloud made the crowd go into an awkward silence. He had hit the wall, making a huge hole in it. It was about 5 inches away from Rose’s head.

Cloud: I-I hesitated…I can’t..

I-I just can’t..
All I’ve been through.
what I’ve done.
Heh, well I can at least give up knowing this can’t affect my relationship with her,
hopefully.

Cloud was kneeling down, thinking while Rose was still pinned to the wall. Cloud had come back to reality.

Cloud: I-I..give-
Rose: I give up.

Rose was smiling, she didn’t want Cloud to lose, she loves him. She wants him to go on..

GM: I guess that’s it!! Cloud! You Win! See you all tomorrow!

So everyone exited the arena, Cloud came out victorious, the victory was bittersweet to him. He walked out, still having these heavy thoughts in his head.

What did I do..
So many thoughts..
Rose..

Rose: Cloud..?
Cloud:…Rose.
Rose: You have a lot on your mind, let’s find Inapoi, Jaci and Ninja. Let’s go home.

So they all headed to Ellinia, back to Rollo’s house. They put Cloud in his bed. Cloud was half awake, he heard a conversation going on. Rose was talking to him.

Rose: I don’t think you can hear me but, you had a lot on his mind. You should rest. I knew you couldn’t fight me, I’m sorry.

Cloud then fell asleep. He still had was in stress.

Why..? Why am I so stressed..
What can I do?
Am I getting too nice?
Rose is very special to me
Is she holding me back? NO!
Rose..
ROSE!

He woke up in dripping in sweat. He looked for Rose, she was gone..
