"Wow! Thank you to the Black Swan Team, I finally understand where the name came from! Audience, they did so well, right?" The MC, Ryan Leary, cheered loudly as he ran onto the stage, high-fiving each contestant as he moved past them.
Ari gave him a weak high five as he panted while trying to recover his strength.
He felt utterly exhausted, as if every bit of energy had been extracted from his body, leaving behind an empty husk that was dehydrated and covered in sweat.
But as he looked out at the audience that was cheering loudly for them and even the judges who were clapping, Ari had to smile.
It seemed that everyone enjoyed the performance overall.
"Now, why don't we have the Black Swan Team members introduce themselves and say a few words while you all are voting?"
Ryan Leary then passed the microphone to Leo, who looked a bit teary-eyed as he wiped the sweat from his face.
