The International Conference Center reports that the president seems to be forgetful. He seems to remember things from the past few years clearly. He has sought asylum with the emperor, but is now joining the Free Federation's faction. He wants to know why the emperor is camping out on the lawn of the conference center. The emperor hates the word liberty, he says, because liberty implies anarchy. He is his boyfriend, Gu Qingshan. The question for him is between the free Federation and the empire, which is more advanced. He says that the federal university is a useless waste of time, and he wants to come to the empire. He tells his aunt that the emperor has just announced her asylum under his care, and that it will be inexplicable if he were to run away. He assures her that the empire will treat her well once she is done with her tasks. He reassures her that he will banish darkness from the world.
