"Director, what's up with the list? Flora didn't even attend the training. Why is her name on it?"

The competitors looked at Mr. Tanner, still furious, demanding an explanation.

"Flora's name being on the final list was an accident, and for that, I apologize," Mr. Tanner said solemnly. "But the list is finalized and cannot be changed. It has to stay as it is."
