For this meeting, Sera returned to New Athens. Much remained undone in Rome, yet David and the others handled it all. Sera's role was solely supportive and symbolic.
The prisoners acted much more nicely when she stood nearby. They usually stared at her like she was some legendary person, which wasn't entirely inaccurate.
It was surprising how well all the prisoners acted. Sera was afraid they would cause trouble, and would annoy Rome's citizens, alienating them from the Angelic Order.
These concerns quickly disappeared. She ensured her cities received live feeds from both the Federal Alliance and the United Front. The prisoners became especially angry when the news spoke about the Second Battle of Rome.
They essentially labeled each surviving soldier a deserter, forbidding their return to the Federal Alliance's cities. Sera knew exactly what the Central Command was trying to accomplish.
