The camera opens on a luxurious five star hotel suite. Annaliese is sitting on a plush red leather couch, dressed in a stylish, elegant business mini dress that highlights her long, voluptuous legs. She has a proud and affectionate smile as she looks at Leichenberg, who is just returning from a grueling workout, still in his gym clothes. The chemistry between them is palpable, a mix of professional respect and personal connection.]
Annaliese: "Leichenberg, I know that this upcoming match against Andre Cash is important to you, which also means that it is important to me.”
Leichenberg: “Good. We need to be on the same page because Andre Cash is a formidable opponent that requires my best effort.
Annaliese: “Indeed. Andre Cash is much like yourself in many ways. A big, strong, athletic man with a long, impressive and illustrious resume that anyone would be proud of having. “
Leichenberg: “Mr. Cash is a spectacular specimen and a superb athlete with the credentials to prove it. A WiFC World Heavyweight Champion. A two time WiFC European Champion. A WiFC Tag Team Champion. IFPW Legacy Champion. IFPW United States Champion. DHW. Intercontinental Champion.DHW World Heavyweight Champion.
Annaliese: Yes he is a delicious hunk of hot chocolate and has a body of a Greek god that looks like it has been chiseled out of granite.”
Leichenberg: “However, he also has flaws in his game and weaknesses that we can focus on and exploit. Take, for example, his record breaking performance as 2014’s Most Ejected Georgia High School Athlete. Allowing his ego and temper to take himself out of the game, letting all of his teammates down in the process. That indicates to me that Andre Cash lacks the proper discipline to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.”
Annaliese: “Agreed. Mr. Cash has a short fuse when lit, and an attitude problem that I have no doubt will be corrected if necessary, courtesy of the German Juggernaut. The Ring Fuhrer. The Berlin Bully, Leichenberg.”
Leichenberg: “Andre Cash has done much in this sport of professional wrestling. Something he should take great pride in. However, In my brief time here, I've been able to do something that this walking weapon of mass destruction has yet to accomplish and that is winning IIW championship gold. Something that WILL happen once again when I get the opportunity that I feel is rightfully deserved. An opportunity that I will earn once again and it starts with going through the Notoriously known Andre Cash.”
Annaliese: “You are focused, this is good but even you deserve a break, Leichenberg. You've been working incredibly hard lately. Your dedication and relentless effort have been inspiring. So, I’ve planned something special for you today."
[Leichenberg raises an eyebrow, curious and slightly taken aback.]
Leichenberg: "Oh? What do you have in mind?"
[Annaliese stands up, her smile widening as she hands him an elegantly designed envelope. He opens it, revealing a gift certificate for a day spa.]
Annaliese: "A trip to the best day spa in town. You deserve some serious relaxation and pampering. So please, if you would indulge me, get dressed in something more… suitable for the occasion. I'll be waiting for you in the hotel lobby in five minutes."
[The scene transitions to the entrance of an opulent day spa. The exterior is sleek and modern, with lush plants and a serene water fountain. Annaliese and Leichenberg arrive, both looking refreshed and ready for a day of luxury.]

[She continues with deep tissue techniques, focusing on his back, shoulders, and legs. The camera shifts between shots of her hands skillfully massaging and Leichenberg’s expressions of comfort and contentment.]
[After the massage, Leichenberg is wrapped back into a warm, fluffy white robe and escorted to a relaxation lounge where Annaliese is already seated, sipping on herbal tea. The lounge has comfortable chairs, soft lighting, and a peaceful atmosphere.]
Leichenberg: "That was amazing. I feel like a new man."
[Annaliese smiles warmly as she places her hand on his shoulder.]
Annaliese: "I’m glad. You’ve earned every bit of it. It’s important to take care of yourself, especially with how hard you push yourself in the ring."
[They sit together in comfortable silence for a moment, the camera capturing the calm environment and their relaxed expressions. Leichenberg takes a sip of his herbal tea, savoring the tranquility as he gazes into the ice blue eyes of Annaliese with gratitude.]
Leichenberg: "Thank you, Annaliese. This means a lot to me."
[Annaliese gently touches the hand of Leichenberg.]
Annaliese: "Anything for you, Leichenberg. Your success is our success. We need you at your best. Self care is important, even for the toughest of warriors. Now we move on to phase two of your pampering experience."
