The peace negotiations took place in the grand hall of the Amerathian embassy in the ruins of Bogotá. Representatives from both governments gathered around a long oak table, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and determination. The war had left scars on everyone in the room.
President Mariano Velásquez sat across from Amerathian Secretary of State Johnson Wright, his face gaunt and pale from weeks of unrelenting bombardment. To his left, General Rodrigo Ibarra remained silent, his arm still in a sling. The delegation from Gran Colombia was small—many of their key officials had perished in the air raids.
On the Amerathian side, Moore led the negotiations, with General Jonathan Graves and several senior advisors by her side. The atmosphere was cold and formal, the room heavy with the weight of what had transpired.
