Some were challenging themselves to address traumatic experiences…
...while others were just plain ol' scared.
Overall, though, everyone was just feeding off the adrenaline.
And after shaking off the nerves, they slayed.
They did so well that they were getting a little cocky — so we had a little surprise for them... *evil laugh*
