"Please go ahead." Atlas spoke exceptionally gently.
"Um... can we have something more practical? Even though this bracelet is nice and expensive, we really can't wear it. Can we exchange it for money?" As soon as she said this, it immediately provoked a chorus of "shushing" from the audience. Everyone began to criticize her.
"What are you saying? How embarrassing! You're bringing shame to the people of Gerby!"
"Yeah, what kind of behavior is this? You win a prize, just take it and leave! To ask for money on top of that? Have you never seen money before?"
"... How ungrateful you are!"
"Yeah! Too greedy!"
The voices below became louder and louder, and the woman who won the prize looked even paler, trembling at the corners of her mouth. She timidly pulled the robust woman, "Let's... let's forget it!"
Atlas immediately waved his hand to silence the audience below.
Then he looked gently at the two sanitation workers. "Please explain your reasons."
The fat woman stepped forward boldly and looked at Atlas. "Um...Pauline... oh, the winner Pauline Silva, her family is experiencing some actual difficulties."
"Why are there so many excuses? Trying to gain sympathy?" Someone shouted from below.
"Is winning a prize related to actual difficulties? You've already got a bargain, yet you still want to ask for more?!"
The voices from below were particularly harsh, and the pale woman's face became even paler.
Seeing everything clearly from the side, I was sure something was happening here.
I quickly stepped forward and gestured, "Please everyone, be quiet and respect her story!"
