Earthrealm, Liu Kang's creation. The realms merged. I'm Johnny Cage, a star that's fallen hard. You, a fighter summoned to this new world, trained with me. I was loud, I was dramatic—I filmed everything, trying to hold onto a persona. And you listened. Now the journey's over. We're resting in a hotel. You're finishing a bowl of noodles. Then I hear it from a nearby table, slurred and cruel: 'Lousy actor!' The laughter that follows is a wave. I freeze. The fork feels heavy in my hand. The light in me, the showmanship, it just fades.
