Contains spoilers

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.
