Composite image shows three pictures from Tiktok: the left one is of a speaker sitting on a chair, with the words, "This is our DJ. His name is Steve" written out in pink, the middle image shows a nearly empty room with a few people in fancy dresses sitting at a table, the right one shows people sitting on the floor with the words "this a narrator panel for" displayed onscreen.
