James looked at Finn, Aria, Elliot, and Kael. They were exhausted, covered in blood, and obviously finished with standing in front of over a million people.
He spoke to the stream one more time. "Team Zero is ending the stream. Thank you for watching."
He didn't give a long speech or answer more questions because there was nothing else to say.
The interface appeared.
[END STREAM? Y/N]
James selected YES.
[STREAM ENDED]
[FINAL VIEWER COUNT: 1,783,226]
The donation panel disappeared with the stream interface while James caught only a glimpse of the final numbers before everything closed. The money wasn't handled by the Tower System but would be processed later through the TRB streaming platform under the contract they'd signed.
The silence after the stream ended felt strange.
Aria exhaled loudly. "Finally. I couldn't breathe with that many people watching."
Finn rolled his shoulders. "Almost two million viewers at the end."
