The One Reluctant to Admit Fault

"I can't accept this!"

In the ever-so-noisy crowd that the girl in pink hated, desperate cries echoed, laced with helplessness and anger. But they did nothing to stop the thunderous yells, applause and excitement around her. 

How many times had she regressed already? Why was there no change in the result? She only wanted one person to squeeze into the top 12. Was it too much of a wish?

"Seth did his best. It's easy to see he did not make any mistakes."

The girl closed her eyes and took deep breaths, wondering who was at fault then. The other group? 

It was her fifth return today, yet this was the first time she would watch the other team's stage properly to see why more members from this team proceeded to the next phase of the competition. 

The more she watched, the more she thought she was right. Apart from being younger and a bit shorter due to his age, Seth's face and skills were not inferior to Xavi's and the others'.
