Vienna, Golden Hall.
Keller Cup International Music Competition Finals.
As all the contestants have finished their performances.
In the hall,
It slowly falls into an eerie silence.
As if waiting for something, or rather, not wanting to miss any detail due to noise, every audience member wears expressions of excitement or enthusiasm, yet holds back, refraining from acting out.

Connor raises his head, takes a deep breath, and solemnly says,

"(Please, Isaac, contestant Gan Yanyu, and their respective accompanists, come to the stage!)"

The champion will emerge from among them!
