"Miss Hera, Mr. Hendrix," a crew member called from outside. "Our team has finished packing up. Manager Danny asked me to let you know that we're ready to head out and celebrate."

Manager Danny said you should head out first to receive the trophy, and then we'll all celebrate together—with the trophy in hand!"
