The dusk sunset brings the days of suffering and suffocation into another round of respite period. The starry night is gone, the scene is still the same, the air is still gray, in the sky, Hermes has been hiding a month ago, leaving only a single shadow of Helios still stranded in the southern sky, through the thick atmosphere, casting a glimmer of light towards the surrounding home star, giving comfort.

In Angel City, the southernmost end of the 161st floor of the Sophie Ride Building of the Union's Development Committee, three female clerks are sitting behind their desks in a translucent silent force field. All the details were fogged out, so it was impossible to see what was going on, but judging by the blue holographic communication windows that were beating from time to time in front of each of them, and the speed at which they were skillfully coping, they seemed unusually busy.

At this time, on the dark green long sofa in the corner of the room, Betis. Lady Andrew sat peacefully crossed, and though she had been waiting for nearly an hour since she had been summoned, she did not seem to mind. With some light makeup on her face, she looked at the newly appointed temporary secretaries in the silent force field, and looked a little distracted.

Immerse yourself in your work and forget about the rest. The busy scene of the secretaries immersed and forgetful, she couldn't help but think of her daily state for more than a month, and the softest part of her heart couldn't help but start to tense again.

The notorious presidential inauguration tragedy, in addition to the inauguration of President-elect Sophia. Heinrich's life came to a sad end, and at the same time took Betis with him. Andrew was the partner of seven years of marriage. On that unforgettable afternoon, she was so busy watching live broadcasts in her office that she rushed to the Punal Masonic Hospital, which was responsible for treating the injured, in a panic, only to find the name of her lover Shen Xinbei from the long list of victims.

…… Almost all the people on the rostrum were vaporized, and there were no intact corpses...... The current Cabinet Assistant Chief of Staff Maggie Murphy. After Michael found her and informed her of the bad news, the grief that had been suppressed for several hours finally came out, and she cried as she hugged the survivor of the tragedy who was not very familiar with her, and the former cabinet member who had been temporarily appointed to preside over the pacification work accompanied her to cry because of the continued tension and panic, so the two women, who had a high reputation in the political arena of the Union, hugged each other and cried like children in the waiting hall of the Masonic Hospital, where the wounded, their families and reporters were crowded.

The great pain devoured everyone in Angel City, relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, and millions of people who were connected to the 20,000 victims? Grief and fear have led many people to choose to confront the unforgiving reality with escape, which has led to the closure of schools, the closure of shops, and the paralysis of transportation.

And unlike the families of the victims of other government agencies, Betis. Andrew arrived at his office early in the morning on the second day of the tragedy. There was no moment of peace after a night of tossing and turning, and the lonely home made her reminisce about the past all the time, and even had the idea of taking medicine to commit suicide for a while, so in her opinion, selfless work can at least be a temporary relief from the spirit.

She also chose to escape, and seemed much more selfless than the veteran politicians who boarded the Four Seasons and threw a mess at outsiders, but she never thought about the negatives, as she wrote a few days later to Robert Brown, who was still on vacation in Chilian. That's what Kent said in his email.

"Grief belongs to the past, and hope is ...... in the future"

She had spent her life making rules and plans for her once cowardly self, and wisdom and insight had become her only means of countering her negative nature, and this had obviously paid off for the past twenty years. She is humorous, knowledgeable, and full of wealth, giving people a very good impression, and her colleagues from the Comprehensive Planning Bureau of the Development Committee who love her have given her the nickname "Charming Mr. Know-It-All".

But because of Shen Xinbei's death, it still made her go back to the days when she was bullied in her youth, and this set of rules of doing things to wrap her fragile heart with a mature appearance has somewhat reduced to chicken ribs during this period.

The endless heartache inadvertently welled up with tears in her eyes, this woman she loved all her life, this expectant mother who made her finally give in and had just undergone embryo implantation surgery ten days before the tragedy, but she died with the fragrance of her blood and bones, and turned into ashes. Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't stop crying, closed the window lattice, opened the force field, and then cried on the table with her heart rending.

……

"Ms. Andrew, it's already okay, Madam President will let you in." In Betis. While Andrew was still staring at the empty space, one of the secretaries in the room had removed the mute field to inform her.

"Thank you." Andrew responded politely, straightening the slightly wrinkled skirt of the Katzio suit on his legs, then stood up, took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and raised his chin. Unlike her partner, who is a journalist, she once hated these glamorous dresses and exquisite manners, but under Shen Xinbei's years of training, her choice of clothing is finally no longer as willful as when she was young.

The door in front of her slid open in the wind, and she took a few steps forward, stepping into the office she had been to so many times. As usual, there was a slight nervousness, but this time it was obviously even worse, because although the people in the office were still the same, but the rank was different, one was the former top boss of the Development Committee, and now he was the first person in charge of the military politics of the Silver Alliance.

The same scent of fern vines and lilies, the same soothing smile, the other party waved her arm to close the holographic screen, put down the work at hand, and politely focused on hers, as she had done every time she walked into this office for years.

As a female politician who rose to prominence in her youth, Lovoli . Skaya is not like Sophia. Heinrich had such a prominent family background and an enviable appearance. She has a face that is still quite handsome, and she still maintains a well-proportioned figure, but the unforgiving years and the fact that she has given birth to three children have made her look no longer young. Dressed plainly, without powder, the age lines on her forehead and the corners of her eyes interpret her actual age, and the sincere and eye-catching smile gives her a sense of stability and maturity after washing away the lead.
