The final is nearing its end, and the contestants have finished performing their acts. There's only 15 minutes left for canvassing votes.
The popularity of the four young girls is way ahead, so smoothly securing the top four positions should be no problem.
Meanwhile, the judges are gradually starting to comment on this final, and soon it's Theo's turn.
Shami looks over.
The only variable on stage now is this guy Theo.
Theo stands up from the judges' seat and walks to the front of the stage.
During the latter half of the final, Theo appears very calm, but inside, he's been struggling.
On one side is the justice symbolizing fairness in the competition, and on the other is the solid 100,000 Gold Coins. This isn't a choice that can be made easily.
But Theo eventually makes his decision; he slowly looks over at Shami.
Their gazes meet.
Shami knows it's secure.
"Next up, we invite Judge Theo to select the Best Newcomer award!"
