Kyoto, Yamatai -- In a press conference today, a spokesperson for Imperial Premier Ketsurui Yui, announced that the former Empress has been dealing with mental health issues relating to her captivity by the psychopathic Nekovalkyrja murderer Eve, and plans to step down early to focus on her personal health and life goals. After the original Yuumi was killed Elysian attack in YE 24 that destroyed Geshrinopolis, the capital of Yamatai, Eve created a clone of Yuumi using a secret backup and held her captive until YE 29, when she was discovered and rescued during the Second Battle of Urghflau. Hanako gave up her on power armor to teleport the former Empress to safety, sacrificing herself. Yuumi became politically active ten years ago in YE 33, starting her first term as Imperial Premier. The position, as well as friction with her sister Ketsurui Yui, according to her spokeperson, both placed extreme stress on Yuumi as the years went by, until Yuumi effectively withdrew from public life in the last 3 years.
The announcement opens the path for a new Imperial Premier, and the senate is expected to convene soon to figure out an election process for the interim premier.
