Later that night, the broadcast all over the Hegemony plays out. It's the grand return of the Supreme Ruler. You aren't important enough to be invited to the party happening on Andoen right now- but watching the pageantry from your own room's screen is plenty for you. After all, you're still pretty sore from today.
It's a bit surreal seeing all these famous and powerful Hegemony officials in one place like that- actually meeting and socializing like real people instead of just being names on a screen instead or their orders carrying their way through all of society.

>I'm over it
>I'm STILL not over it
