Ishikawa Hideaki, currently rear-admiral of the Kusari Naval Forces, stepped into the election office on another rainy day on New Tokyo. It felt like only a month ago that the last election had been held, even though the next one was actually long overdue.
So much has happened since then and yet it seems like the government has done so little.
Had he been wrong with placing his trust into that particular party? He was not sure. However, looking at all the other options on the ballot, there really was nothing else to vote for.
And so Ishikawa again put his vote towards the Democratic Party of Kusari.
With the hope to have made the right choice he walked out into the rain again.
---------------------------------
Kawamura Amaya, officer of the Naval Forces, was her usual cheerful self when she entered the election office on New Tokyo. She gave the rear admiral a smile as he walked out, but he seemed too lost in his thoughts to notice.
She shrugged and proceeded to the voting cabin. Since the Sunrise party would not participate in this election she had trouble finding the right party to vote for.
For a moment she considered just drawing a big smiley face onto the ballot. But in the end she decided otherwise and casted her vote for the Democratic Party of Kusari. They had done an alright job of governing the house for the last period, it would probably be alright if they get another turn.
And with that she left the election office again, thinking about the more important parts of life. Like the party she was attending that night.
