Summary
- Nora steps on stage, initially blinded by the stage lights and only seeing a "milky way" of camera flashes and phone lights from the audience.
- She hears the collective roar of the crowd, an experience that first strikes her as threatening, comparing it to Hercules facing the Hydra.
- Understanding that this roar is one of support, not hostility, she feels a surge of strength and empowerment.
- Through this experience, Nora realizes that she is capable of more than she had previously believed.
