Earth Zero.

A few weeks later.

In all territories in some countries of the world.

United Nations meeting towards a new headquarters after an earthquake destroyed the center of what was the last headquarters of the United Nations, when they summoned the most powerful to be able to organize the event.

At that time, when Makoto was offering help, to several continents between countries and their sovereignties, their greatest seismologists warned about a great risk of earthquakes that would affect and shake the world due to numerous seismic movements, which were occurring towards several countries and continents.

Makoto in turn was there in the midst of a large emergency meeting in the midst of a council of governors who were organizing a large contingent of humanitarian aid.

Among them, Africa, which had a great earthquake that destroyed half of the continent that divided it forming a huge crater, between fissures, which caused the country to be under rubble, and the south of Japan in turn was divided in half, the structures and buildings, some houses even though prepared and built to withstand, could not withstand, so thousands of people died when it collapsed, thousands died under the rubble.

Your greatest seismologists were warning, of course without success, that various parts of the world were at risk of disappearing, but that was almost unlikely, the same thing happened that due to a large number of unbelievers, among those people who were denialists, who did not believed that there was no longer any risk of a new pandemic.

Other countries would be affected, it turns out that the same rules did not apply to Lovecraft County which does not live under an established democracy, but an order of the council of ministers a little over 10 years ago, when there was the last popular referendum on migration between mystical and human forces.

The advisers and senators among a meeting of advisers who were previously chosen by the elders, who are chosen as the best members of the council, and among each of the creatures that represent a force and a power, the same did not happen outside the city.

Being one of the greatest senators of the council, representative of a tribe of vampires and werewolves, Joseph was previously an American senator who left the senate a little over 2 years ago, when he commanded and still commands a part of the mafia and the

The best infects ologists and the best scientists and seismologists were working for Lovecraft's biggest multinational that would have a large number of researchers in its power, but apparently, not even Joseph could change the world.

Makoto was contacted by a scientist doing work and research for the Delphos company.

- Yes. - The man listening to the conversation, heading to the laboratories, where the short woman with caramel-coloured hair talked about her great discoveries.

Makoto communicated with some contacts arranging a meeting with some leaders of nations that were being harmed.

- We can't do anything before it happens, money and thousands of people have nowhere to go, how would all these people be without a home? – A senator came into question.

- Apparently, even if I say it to thousands of researchers and senators, no one will pay attention.

- People would not understand, it would take a lot of money to move so many people to other locations. - A senator said.

Sometime before, Makoto invited Joseph to go to one of the research centres, laboratories and other test sites of the Delphos company.

- So, you knew before it happened? – Makoto questioned.

- How much do you want this research to disappear? – A representative from America questioned him.

- You want me to just pretend that this never happened, so after it happens, just send reinforcements to the survivors? – Makoto questioned him.

- It is not a popular measure, you know. - Joseph said, intervening. – No one will be able to do anything.

- I just need to erase my researcher's memory, I want tax exemption. – Makoto said.

- For how long? – A representative from the east questioned him.

- All life. – Makoto said.

- Done. - They said.

So, when they left, Makoto called the researcher into his office, next to Joseph.

- Did you tell anyone about this? – Makoto questioned her.

- For no one, I expected that you could organize a press conference. - The woman said.

- Good. - Joseph said, going after her, when he touched her head, the woman fainted when he said.

- These memories are important, so they will be erased. Joseph said.

Then, the woman gasped, waking up, and looking confusedly at Makoto.

- Mister Delphos, did you call me? - She questioned.

- I have a project about bacteria and new forms of food production, which I will send to your classroom. – Makoto said.

- Yes sir. – The woman then left the room, leaving them there.

- Side effect of democracy, even if the problem is in front of you, you can't do anything, because you are not popular and depend on votes. – Makoto said.

- I'm glad you're not a politician. Joseph said.

Talking to her boyfriend at that time, she said.

- I could, but that would go against the power of the population. Joseph said.

- It is not a popular measure. – Makoto said.

- Well, I cannot do anything but remedy, the issues are too complex. Joseph said.

- I see, you came to Lovecraft because the other side of North America would be affected, but you couldn't act before it happened. – Makoto said.

- Something like. - The man said.

- They would rather deal with the fact that they are remedying than preventing. – Makoto said.

- Fewer mouths and less money to spend, there would be less homeless people, if they took into account what you said, they would have to move many mouths, the economy would be harmed, it would take years to rebuild. Joseph said.

- Yes, the economy is very fragile, without them leaving the population in their countries in such a way that they would go into despair, many of them would commit crimes, others would literally go crazy, some people are so fragile that they would simply attack others or destroy public property. Joseph said.
