## Summary

### Day 82: October 15, 2033

The crowds cheer as the election for the new president of Izuzunu is about to start. Jun leaves Moises behind and goes up to the stage, grabbing a jukebox and a microphone. He addresses the crowd and receives even louder cheers. Moises reveals a dynamite to Emily, causing her to express shock and concern. Jun realizes Xuanyu and George are not yet ready, so he leaves the stage and runs to Mark's house. After a few minutes, Jun arrives at Mark's house and informs him that it's election day. Mark reacts with surprise and quickly gets ready, promising to meet Jun at the election stage.

George excitedly runs towards the election grounds, confident he will win the election. Meanwhile, Mikey secretly voted for Xuanyu instead. Xuanyu enters the stage and delivers a speech, declaring his intention to protect the land. George challenges Xuanyu, but before they can engage in a confrontation, Moises starts shooting arrows at George from a nearby tower. Jun tries to stop Moises while Mark comments on a tall tree nearby, causing laughter from the crowd. Jun officially begins the Second Election, but chaos ensues when Moises appears on the stage with dynamite. He lights it and throws it near George's legs, causing everyone to flee. The stage is destroyed, and people panic and run back to their homes. Yusuke assures Mark that the war has not started yet, and he urges Moises, Emily, and Jun to escape the burning stage. Jun remains on the floor, observing the damage caused by Moises.

The election continues hours later after the interruption caused by Moises. The crowd settles down inside Edison's Night Club, relieved that the attack was only aimed at the stage. Jun addresses the crowd, mentioning the developments in the town and the imminent Wood War. Moises watches from the rooftop with Yusuke and Emily. Jun invites Chloe to give her final speech before the election. The crowd has mixed opinions about Chloe's presidency. Jun then introduces George and Xuanyu as the candidates for the new president. The crowd laughs when Xuanyu makes a late entrance. Jun announces the initial vote count, with George receiving 70 votes. The crowd cheers for George, but Jun questions his confidence. Xuanyu's vote count surprises the audience, leading to mixed reactions.

It is revealed that Xuanyu wins the Second Election with 183 votes, causing the crowd to cheer and fireworks to light up the stage. Xuanyu takes the microphone and declares his intention to save everyone as the new President. Mark interrupts and nervously asks if he can be President, but Jun announces him as the new Vice President instead. The crowd cheers for the new President and Vice President. George expresses determination to become President in the future. Moises, Emily, and Yusuke observe the scene from afar, hinting at a looming Civil War. A mysterious group in black and gray clothing with masks and capes observes how the town reacts to war. Xuanyu announces it's party time, and the crowd starts dancing.
