The operation for complete removal of the debris from the demolished flyover lasts the rest of the day. A temporary steel frame has been placed to allow trains to pass through the site, which has great importance to the entire subway network. The material losses amounted 50 million dollars, and ten thousand people were directly affected by the tragedy, in addition to another 500 thousand who were unable to use some subway lines.
Yomi could not remain silent about of such tragedy;
-I'm going to do a public pronouncement, Kurama ..
-Are you really going to, Yomi? I was going to suggest this, I think it's the right thing to do.
-Yes ... You can call the media, I'm going to do right in front of the disaster site ...
-Okay, Yomi.
Kurama calls to radio and television networks that Yomi will pronounce, and he would like it to be broadcast. Broadcasters do not have a duty to do so, and broadcast is not free. But now, the situation is serious, and Yomi wants to take some encouragement to the citizens, it does not matter having to spend a few thousand dollars for that.
The hours pass. Kurama concludes the organization, and convinces some broadcasters to appear to broadcast. Yomi is in his room, looking out the window at the city. His expression is of sadness;
-I can feel the pain of these people at the very moment they had their lives interrupted...-Yomi thinks.
Kibitoshin and Koenma enter the room;
-Excuse, Yomi. The time of your pronouncement will be 8 pm, and the necessary structure is ready. Will you dress more formally?
-No, Koenma, thank you for the concern, but I'm going as I am...
-Right.
The arrival of Shiori and Byakuya is a surprise. Shiori had never been at Yomi's room, but as she was accompanied by Byakuya, she was able to enter the building without problems. Shuichi is surprised at the unexpected arrival of the mother, and walks up to her;
-Hello, Mom, what surprise...
-SHUICHI !!!
Shiori runs to Kurama, hugging him tightly and interrupting his speech;
-Oh my love ... how happy I am that you are here, alive !!!
-Thank you Mom, thanks to Yomi, who did not let me leave sooner. He could not predict this, but his attitude resulted in my survival.
Shiori goes to Yomi, and notices the deep sadness displayed on his face. Although she still has some criticism against him and a certain fear, she must recognize the beautiful role he plays in dedicating his energies to protect Kurama, even unintentionally.
Shiori takes courage and puts a hand on Yomi's head, who had already noticed his presence;
-Hi Yomi, I'm Shiori, as you may have noticed.
-Yes, welcome here for the first time...
Shiori caress Yomi's face, which remains motionless;
-I can feel your heart, Yomi ... and it's very sad ... but there is also a certain thirst for justice.
-Yes…
Yomi could not remain silent about of such tragedy;
-I'm going to do a public pronouncement, Kurama ..
-Are you really going to, Yomi? I was going to suggest this, I think it's the right thing to do.
-Yes ... You can call the media, I'm going to do right in front of the disaster site ...

-Yes…
Shiori caress Yomi's hair, and then gently passes her hands over his ears, as if she were wanting to 'close' them;
-I'm sorry for everything I thought of you ... now I feel that you are someone of great value, who wants our good, and who has emotions as anyone ...
-That made my day better, Shiori ... in a moment like now, anything can help me.
Shiori moves his hands away, going in front of Yomi, hugging him;
-I just want you to help my Shuichi... he's all I have today...
Yomi feels touched, although his Youkai side thinks the gesture of Shiori exaggerated, he follows the good way, and embraces her too;
-You're the best mother Shuichi could have ... do not forget that.
Shiori felt confidence in Yomi's words, and has also welcomed by him. Byakuya, who was shaken in the same way, was talking to Kurama;
-So, Kurama... I did not expect such a tragedy like this...
-You're right, the impact was big in everyone... How do you came here?
-We took another train, but we walked a lot ... your mother was desperate, and I comforted her as far as possible ...
-Ah Byakuya ... you did a good job. I also know something that my mother wants very much, but I will not talk now, this is not the best time ...
-All right, Kurama.
At the headquarters of the revolutionary party, the news that Yomi would make a public pronouncement draws Yuxi's attention;
-Oh, how beautiful .... Yomi there will shed his sweet tears, oh sorry! And it will be the last, hahaha!
-What are you planning to do, boss?
-Simple, the same I did with your idiot friend! So, how is going the organization of the protests?
-Growing! Now we have 1000 people who will carry protest banners.
-Oh, that's amazing! How did you do that?
-We paid $ 20,000 for each one, boss, and we said that Yomi was actually a demon because of the horns, hehehe!
-Great! We now have an active militancy!
-Yes that's right!
Yuxi's eyes shine. Yomi's rallies normally gather only a small audience, he does not really care to do big rallies, but only to receive complaints and deliver results to show how efficient he is as a mayor;
-Let's go there, you idiots, the pronouncement is about to begin soon.
-Right, boss!
At the same instant, Yomi goes to the street, guided by Botan and Kurama, and followed by Byakuya and Shiori. Koenma also goes along with them, while the others stay in the building;
-It will be very good, Yomi. I'm very happy that you have decided to go out and try to talk to citizens to show that you are feeling affected too. Koenma praises.
-Thank you, Koenma, you helped me a lot, too, and I have debts to pay off.
-You don't have. Your good actions are already a great reward to me.
Yuxi supporters were already at the rallying place earlier. They drummed drums, fluttered flags, and held up signs, requiring Yomi's impeachment, comparing Kurama with Joseph Goebbels, and even calling Byakuya an "ugly thing";
-Oh, what the fuck... they again?- Kurama rolls his eyes.
-What's the problem, Kurama?- Yomi asks Kurama.
-Yomi, there is a horde of Yuxi supporters protesting.
-Let they protest, this is a monumental shot in the foot. Yuxi will regret it.
-But it's a very large number, I think more than 500 people! And... are they calling me UGLY ?! - Byakuya gets scared
-Haha people with so bad taste! You are divine, Byakuya!- Shiori praises, and he blushes.
-Well, my friends, it's time to apply my knowledge in political war.- Yomi smiles.
Yomi goes to a pulpit that has been assembled. Not all TV broadcasters were covering the pronouncement, though they said they would. Yomi did not bother about it, and was smiling because the number of people stopping in the street to listen him was growing.
Yomi stands in front of the microphones. The radios of the city were present. Before starting, Kurama gives him a hug;
-Take care, Yomi... expose all your emotions.
Yomi tightens the hug;
-Thank you, Kurama ... without you I do not exist, hahaha! All right, do not worry, I'll do my best.
They exchange glances for one last time, and Kurama goes to Botan, who kisses him on the mouth, surprising him. She laughed at his reaction;
-Get used to it, my Shu ...
-What a difficult challenge, hahaha!
Yomi supporters raise posters, flutter flags, and throw objects, shouting "Yomi is a thief," "Yomitan has been surrendered to the great capital," "Yomi is bourgeois," among other Marxist mantras. Yomi creates his barrier, but now invisible, to avoid being hit by something;
-Well, Yomitan citizens. The day could not be worse for all of us. I am very sad by the tragedy occurred today, which resulted in 320 fatalities, and directly impacted another ten thousand, plus another 500 thousand who were harmed and had their right to come and go violated ...
People are gather to listen Yomi pronouncement, forming an ever-growing group;
-... Our biggest losses were human. I was able to witness terrible scenes here that made me remember the past of wars and blood pools. A past also of mafias and political polarization of people who are enemies of the people and only want to control and plunder you...
Yuxi supporters are being engulfed by the crowd that is forming, and that already reaches easily to two thousand people;
- ... a nefarious people, who do not care about those lives that were destroyed and that today saddens our heart. They do not know what it's like to pick up a mother in your arms for fear that his son had been intentionally murdered by these spiteful people! People who live in luxury, and who think the average Yomitan citizen is an idiot, is not it, Yuxi's supporters?-Yomi points at them.-I cannot state categorically who make this terrorist attack, but I know very well who could cause a tragedy like this trying to overthrow me.
Yuxi's supporters are now just a tiny group. About 30,000 people are rallying to Yomi's pronouncement on the street or from the high-rises nearby;
-Yomi! Yomi!- The crowd shouts.
-That's it, let's all shout together! Yomi! Yomi! Hahahaha! - Botan is having fun.
Yomi is applauded by the crowd. He is very calm, and though he tries to hold, he lets a tear slip on his face;
-I ... I apologize...
Kurama runs to Yomi, holding him;
-Come on, Yomi, after all, I'm here, right? Keep speaking, your pronouncement is very good, the people who were protesting are no longer even seen.
Kurama helps Yomi to stand up. The crowd gets thrilled when Kurama hugs Yomi tightly, and continues to pay attention to both;
-Gay! Gay! Gay! - The group of protesters screams.
-Checkmate!- Kurama thinks.
Yomi was waiting for this opportunity, and begins to massively shoot labels on his opponents:
-Huh, look! Yuxi's group says defending minorities, but call us gay as pejorative! Now, if you're protesting, that's because being gay it's a flaw, is not it?
The people complain in unison of the group, which begins to disperse, so much the shame that they are passing. On the way, they break windows of buildings and cars, which helps Yomi even more;
-Who breaks glass, knocks down flyovers..-Yomi speaks into the microphone.
Yomi still did some unmasking before finishing his pronouncement:
-This is the way of dialogue of the revolutionary Party: outrage, fights, dehumanization of the opponent, and monopoly of virtue...
Kurama stands next to Yomi, and smiles, happy with what his friend said;
-Well, dear Yomitan people, resuming the conversation, we have already opened a tender for the repair of the damaged structure, which should take about two weeks to be ready. I thank you heartily for the attention of all of you present here, who devote a part of your day to hear me. Thank you very much, and know that I will continue to work hard to ensure the well of all of us.
Yomi finishes his pronouncement over strong applause, and returns to his friends, who embrace him;
-You were fantastic, you overwhelmed the protesters without lifting a finger, imagine how Yuxi must be feeling just now, hahaha!- Kurama smiles.
-True, Hahaha.
At revolutionary party headquarters, Yuxi becomes hysterical;
-How am I going to beat Yomi if almost everyone supports him in this crappy town? Well, there were 1000 people today against, it's a start ...
Yomi's popularity was not so affected by the tragedy, as his public pronouncement certainly avoided more damage. Yuxi was supported by his paid protesters to disturb the pronouncement, but at that moment almost 30 times more people met voluntarily to support Yomi. The revolutionary party remains a failure precisely due it's ideology, which will never work in a place like Yomitan, where most people do not welcome a change in the current system with Yomi's tax policy.
