    Ok Kiloa 안녕하세요, So in this case, when it just happened a moment or minute ago the one you'd use is "such a mistake has never happened before." The first one: "such a mistake never happened before." is used more like if you were stating a fact. That that mistake never took place. (as if someone was saying it did when it really didn't) whether it was a past or present event. Second: "such a mistake HAS never happened before" would imply, as you mentioned, that it happened recently but never before. Also, it is used when you are thinking of possible outcomes. Outcomes that would be the first time they ever happen. Example (using the mistake idea): "If you aren't careful you might make this mistake that HAS never been done before." Third: "such a mistake HAD never happened before" implies that longer time has passed since that mistake and you are looking back, maybe telling the story to someone of what had occured. Hopefully that made sense.

    Maybe using "as" instead of "when" would help with the meaning of walking away not sound like she was ignoring you. But knowing the context would help with the meaning.

    First, the meaning of "sea" is an expanse of salt water that covers....haha JK. OK now seriously, the meaning of "sea" is "to be" or "is". It is not only used when uncertain or doubting. It is used in reference to future events (with some exceptions). So you couldn't say "El sea fuerte" (He is strong).Here are some examples: "Ya quiero que sea viernes."(I want it to be friday already.") Asegurate que sea jugo y no refresco."( Make sure its juice and soda.") "Quiere que su hijo sea doctor."(He wants his son to be a doctor."). The example you used is correct as well. So it can show uncertainty but also a hope/desire for something or an assurance for something. Frequently used with Ojalá (hopefully) and Asegúrate (make sure) at the beginning of the sentence. The exception: "sea" is also used when commanding someone/something to NOT be something. Example: "No sea(s) grosero." ("Don't be rude.") Too much info maybe but hopefully it make sense and helps.
