Orion didn't know what was wrong with Nina, so he quietly asked, "Mom, are you not feeling well?" Nina pinched his little cheek and smiled. "Orion, you're so thoughtful, always worrying about Mom. But I'm fine, don't worry. What about you, Orion? Do you want to go hnow or stay and watch the rest of the competition?" He glanced toward the field and, after a moment of silence, whispered, "I think I'll stay and watch the rest. The teacher said winning isn't the most important thing. It's about participating. Mom, aren't you supposed to make that royal feast later? I can help you." Nina was overjoyed and planted a big kiss on his cheek. "That would be wonderful! I'll be counting on you, my little helper, Orion." "Got it! I promise I'll be the best helper ever," Orion declared, raising his hand as if making a solemn vow.

Panicking, Ruth chased after it, her little legs moving fast. But in her haste, she accidentally stepped on the ball and fell face-first into the dirt.
"Waaah... bad ball, bad ball! Mom, get rid of the ball, I don't want this bad ball anymore!" Ruth cried, throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground, completely ignoring the sand in her mouth.
Madison rushed over to comfort her, angrily hitting the ball alongside her daughter. The other parents were stunned and began whispering to each other about her parenting style.

As the group turned against her, Madison realized she couldn't win this argument alone. She pushed her way through the crowd and marched over to Nina and Orion.
"It's all your fault! Why did you tell Ruth how to compete? Do you even know what you're doing? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have been distracted, wouldn't have chased after the ball, and wouldn't have falten. This is all because made my Ruth fall!" you! You
Madison's voice was loud, and she was practically jabbing her finger in e Grign's face.
Nina calmly swatted her hand away and stood up meeting Madison's gaze. "You were the one who asked None us to cheer her on! Now something goes wrong, and you're blaming us? What does your kid's last nhappen to be 'Blame'? Maybe you should just call her 'BlEveryone Else."
