**Victor Machado** Mon Aug 10, 2020 12:29 am

The camera zooms in on Victor Machado, with a clearly visible smile over his face, as he is walking down one of the corridors, talking to what appears to be a tape recorder.
-
Victor Machado: "Life's good, man. Back to business, packing a punch, and best of all..."
-
Victor Machado: "No Alyssa to be seen."
-
Victor yawns as he puts his back against one of the nearby walls.
-
Victor Machado: "All these months having to deal with her, falling for her false ideals, working for whatever I didn't want to follow..."
-
Victor Machado: "Ultimately ending in the situation that I did... Did I get the gold? Sure, I did."
-
Victor Machado: "Was it worth it? Damn right it was."
-
Victor Machado: "Would I do it again? Never."
-
Victor puts the tape recorder closer to his mouth.
-
Victor Machado: "Never again in a million years would I put up with her ever again."
-
Victor punches the floor as he's still sitting down.
-
Victor Machado: "Careers that I've destroyed, eternal moments that I've ruined..."
-
Victor Machado: "All of that for what? For Alyssa to be happy? For her to look nice on the higher-ups' eyes?"
-
Victor Machado sighs as he reminisces some of the moments lived.
-
Victor Machado: "Not worth it, chico. Never had the chance to tell her that, but I guess she doesn't even really deserve it after all."
-
Victor Machado: "The better part of all of this is, I'll be getting a chance to redeem myself after all these years by facing her later today."
-
Victor Machado: "The sadder part, however..."
-
Victor breaks down as he looks to the floor.
-
Victor Machado: "Closing this joint down really hit me in the heart."
-
Victor Machado: "Was it my fault? Did I do it by bringing Alyssa up?"
-
Victor keeps punching the floor repeatedly.
-
Victor Machado: "I can't stop thinking about it, and it's really eating me from the inside out."
-
Victor Machado: "Lived good and bad moments, gave the best to the fans and everyone out there around the world..."
-
Victor sighs yet again as he finally stops smacking his fist against the concrete.
-
Victor Machado: "There's only so much one man can do. And as for the part that I can still change..."
-
Victor gets up as he cracks his back to relieve some stress.
-
Victor Machado: "With great power comes great responsibility, as everybody knows. And Alyssa?"
-
Victor Machado: "She packed all the responsibility up and threw it all straight to the garbage bin."
-
Victor Machado: "I'll be making sure she gets what she deserves. After all..."
-
Victor stops the tape recorder, stores it in his pocket and stares at the cameraman, who thought had been going unnoticed thus far.
-
Victor Machado: "Life's good."
-
Victor smiles back at the cameraman signalling that there's no need to be worried, as Victor keeps on walking and the camera fades out to black.
