President Malcolm stood on a grand stage in the heart of USL's capital, facing a massive crowd.

Towering screens surrounded him, broadcasting his face to every corner of the nation. The air was thick with tension, filled with uncertainty. Families, workers, and officials all stood frozen, waiting for an explanation and an answer to the chaos that had gripped their lives for the past months.

Several theories and pictures have been showcased and were flooding all over the internet, but there has been no authentication.

This uncertainty had clearly pushed everyone towards the edge.

Now, finally, the President had come to speak.

Malcolm took a deep breath and began.

"I know the past few months have been unbearable," he began, his voice steady. "There has been so much uncertainty, so much fear. Livelihoods have been harmed, our economy has suffered, and countless lives have been left struggling."
