2nd of December 2067 (400 days since the outbreak of war) - Daegu

Yoongi was looking at the laptop screen with Gahyeon on his right and Wooyoung and San on his left.

He was looking at his uncle's face. His aunt and Taeil were standing behind him.

'Today... The National Army of South Korea left the territory of the Republic of Daegu. All areas of the Republic from its west border on Nakdong River to the Sea of Japan in the east are free from the official conflict. The ceasefire was signed with the President of South Korea. The war... is over.'

Yoongi heard a sighed on his right and looked at Gahyeon with the corner of his eye

He understood. They should feel relief... But they knew they were not going back to the world they left few years ago... What will this new reality be like?

'The equal rules will be made. The equal laws will be created and executed. Every person that won't act according to those laws - no matter Interdependent or not - will be punished. That's the equality we were looking for. And that's how the Republic will work for our safety and future. Everyone who wants to leave is free to go... From this day onwards we are beginning to rebuild our society, homes and life on a new basis of equality. Don't worry... Interdependatns don't want revenge.... We are not going to divide society into WE and YOU. From today we are all citizens of the Republic.... Together we will rebuild schools, universities, businesses.... Away from racism and inequality, we will create a safe place for our children. Together.'

The crowd gathered at the conference began cheering and whistling. Kyung was smiling sadly, until Chorong took a step forward and stood next to him. He looked at her gratefully.

'He for sure can talk...' San said with a grimace.

'Well, from now on, talking will be his main weapon...' Yoongi sighed.

'What about ISA?' Wooyoung asked.

'It's not ISA anymore. It is the Army of the Republic... Their main purpose is to deal with the small conflicts inside the country. And act as the law enforcement till the Police and Courts will be restored...'
