It was just a rumor. Everyone knew that. It was just a rumor that personifications of nations existed. Nevertheless, its existence had proven too close for comfort, and there was too much unknown to simply leave it. Thus, the personifications of the G-20 Nations had two options; to reveal, and face the public's wrath, or not to reveal, and wait for the secret to be untimely leaked, if it hadn't already been. It's not an easy decision, to publicly reveal the biggest secret in the world. And they knew it would have consequences. They figured the public wouldn't take it well. They expected the riots. They knew so much would have to change to accommodate their public presence. But what they could not have predicted is what a reveal would form, or what started the rumor in the first place.
