Summary: Other achievements, other forms of victory.

Polite applause it was, but it deafened Nasuti anyway.

Her nerves were so raw it sounded like cannonfire -- or the crack of eldritch power --

But it was neither.

It was the sound of congratulations -- of victory --

She'd made it.

Theses defended; doctorate achieved; first flurries of research published and praised by new peers. And here she was, being feted for that research --

Far more important than her fellows, though, was the raucous pack of grinning, clapping bodies right up front.

They'd all attended to hear her speech.

Even that flicker of russet hair, there in the shadows ...

Thank you, everyone.
