Jenna, Adler, Colby, and Sophie had just walked into the banquet hall and already had everyone's eyes on them. People were coming up to greet them left and right. Off to the side, Sandy, clearly annoyed, tugged on Angelo's sleeve and grumbled, "Bro! These Devonport folks are so clueless! Does no one know who we are?"
