It is months after the Seventy Fifth quell, weeks after she'd announced her campaign for mayor, days after she'd done all she could to sway the vote to her side.
Hours after she'd faced a close, but decisive, second place defeat to Kirito Miristioma.
Resignation flows through her, accompanying so many other emotions as her family stands off to the side. Acceptance. Frustration. Heartache. Disappointment. Pride.
Names flood across the screen, and it is not Fel that joins the ranks of veterans such as Concat and Ripsaw and Adalome, the ranks of well known newbies such as Wie and Hope and Emberstatt. And it hurts, a lot more than she'd let anyone know, much less herself.
But with tears that she won't let flow comes a fire that has not extinguished in the crushing wave of defeat, but has only renewed in intensity. Sure, her ambitious campaign run on hard truths and realistic promises had lost to the celebrity status and natural charisma of the Miristioma kid, but that didn't mean she had to sit back and fade into obscurity, either.
No, just because a famous kid with a questionable amount of stability had won more love than she had didn't mean she would be passive. She'd do what she could to assist him, wanted or not.
After all, the role of someone like her did not end simply because she'd lost a popularity contest.
