-Verena Can't Win The Contest-

Verena met Ariana's gaze head-on, her eyes burning with determination. "Your attempts to sabotage me won't work," Verena said, her voice steady and unwavering. "I won't let your tricks defeat me. I'll fight until the end."

Ariana faltered under Verena's fierce gaze, unable to maintain eye contact. The room fell silent for a moment before Vincent, an observer in this unfolding drama, spoke up. "This girl's got some courage," he remarked, his tone impressed.

Verena sighed, her impatience evident. Time was slipping away, and she couldn't afford to be distracted by Ariana's petty schemes. 

With a final glance at her lyrics, she brushed past Ariana and walked away, her steps purposeful. The stage awaited her, and she was determined to seize the moment, regardless of the challenges she faced.

Verena descended from the stage, her legs feeling like jelly after the emotional performance.
