85 [Video]
[Rei is in a hall of the Temple of Heaven, which is, miraculously, still fairly intact. Why, you ask? Because a few of the citizens of Adstringendum helped keep the entirely wooden building together -- and Rei, who is wiping a bloody blade clean on her sleeve, focuses on the PCD to address exactly that.
She looks terrible. Exhausted -- because she has not slept in days. Pale -- because she hasn't slept in days and she's been redo-ing the warding in the Temple to allow for most everyone to gain access. And she, to the very well-trained eye, is shaking. Being dismembered doesn't exactly grant well to your nerves, once the adrenaline wears off. But Rei is nothing but stubborn and though her voice is quiet and she sounds almost ill, she still manages to be heard.]
The Temple of Heaven is open to anyone who lost their homes during the attack. The warding will now allow almost everyone within the walls, save for a select few who won't make matters any better. You know who you are. I'm not going to bother naming names. And --
[She pauses before raising her eyes to focus more fully on the camera.]
I wanted to thank anyone and everyone who helped keep this building standing. It wasn't done for me -- but I want to thank you, anyway. This place is my home and the home of a lot of other people who have come through this city and to lose everything -- thank you. And -- like I said, anyone who needs a place to stay, or a shower, or food -- please come here.
For those who don't want to leave their homes -- I control fire. I understand if you don't want my assistance or don't want to ask for it, but please, if there's anything I can do to help control what fires still remain in the city, I want to help. So -- for those who don't know me, my name is Hino Rei, and my feed is always open if you need any help.
[And she presses a button on her PCD to send the coordinates to her location.]

[That takes care of the public matters. Now, for the personal ones.]

I'm sure most of you expect a resignation out of me, too, but I can't.
[Her jaw is slightly tight and she's noticeably nervous, from what she's about to say, but she keeps going anyway.]
The Archangel Raphael is dead, but not gone from the city yet. When she returns, she is sill a member of the police force. As it stands, I'm the only person in this city who can and will put her in her place if she decides to do anything psychotic. And seeing as I'm the only person in her unit, we're a little out of luck.
Seeing as we're down our original founder and we need to regroup anyway in order to start rebuilding this city -- I'd like to call for a meeting. I want all of you to decide what to do with me. If you want me out of the force, then fine -- vote me out and I'll down. Until then, I am still one of two people on the power containment unit, and I can't step down until a suitable replacement is found.
I'd also suggest kicking Raphael out while you still have the chance, since Jean-Louis Duroc was an idiot to let her in on the first place.
Please let me know when the meeting is and what you need me to do until then. Thank you.
