The Author's POV

[No, it's cause I can actually do something about them, unlike the Union who can't seem to be able to do anything at this point.]

Staring at the projection in front of her, Monica munched on the popcorn in her mouth.

"...Munch, munch, I guess you were right Donna. His tongue really did go loose...Munch..."

There was a trace of amusement in her voice as she said those words. Clearly, she wasn't the least bit perturbed about the things that Ren had said on the projection.

"Munch...Heh, he even said that he doesn't care about anyone, hahaha...way to go Ren!"

Besides her, Donna was in total dismay as she covered her face with her arms.

"I knew it...I knew that this was going to happen..."

Gulp—!

Swallowing the popcorn in her mouth, Monica patted Donna on the back. Secretly, she was just trying to get rid of the grease on her hands.

"Calm down Donna, the one that should be most worried about the situation should be me. Unlike you, I'm actually working for the Union, not that I disagree with what he's saying, but..."

Lowering her hand, she grabbed another handful of popcorn.

"Well, what's done it's done. The moment I gave him the recording, I already knew that he was going to pull something like this."

Stopping her hand right before her mouth, Monica sighed.

"Actually, I'm probably going to be in a bit of trouble since Daphne didn't know I was recording her back then, but, well, I'm ranked now."

Softly chuckling, Monica stuffed her mouth with another handful of popcorn.

"Munch...Munch...What they gonna do about it?"

Gazing at the projection in front of her for a good minute, Donna eventually gave up.

"...Well, alright."

'I knew that this was going to happen anyways.'

Though a small part of her prayed that Ren wouldn't pull something like this, thinking back at the words he said, Donna realized that perhaps this was for the best.

The crack in thy sky did indeed seem like a good indication that something big was about to happen.

If Ren's words served as a catalyst to help humanity realize in just how much of a predicament they were in, then what he said wasn't as bad as she was making it out to be.

There was only one problem.

And that was the backlash that Ren's words would create throughout the world. For a good while, Donna knew that the human domain would be in a lot of turmoil.

Turning her head to glance at Monica who was carefreely eating her popcorn, Donna softly mumbled.

"It looks like we're going to be very busy this month."

Because she had been so focused on the press conference, Monica was unable to hear Donna's mumbles.

"Hm?"

Turning her head, she asked.

"Did you say something, Donna?"

"No."

Staring at Monica for a good couple of seconds, Donna shook her head and sighed.

"Nothing, I didn't say anything."
