Option 2:

Alexa Johansen is right back in Japan. It's impossible to pretend she's pleased to be here again. Holding the draft here was insane enough, in her opinion, but now the league had decided for a preseason tourney of some kind right back here. It was hard to get excited about playing in Japan so soon after being there for what she honestly considered to be a much bigger event, after all. That wasn't the only reason it was difficult to get excited, though. She had just spent most of her break playing in Norway, after all, part of the USA Blue team at the World Juniors, which meant this didn't feel like such a special event to her. The fans had a tendency to be too quiet, too, and it definitely made her squirm a little bit on the inside, feeling like a bug under glass, observed by curious masses who didn't really understand, some of whom probably only showed up to be able to say they had been there. At least it counted as part of training camp, though?
