The next day, Logan stood before a crowd of reporters inside a large meeting room, cameras clicking as silence fell across the room.
He took a breath, then began.
"First of all, let me begin by offering my sincere condolences to the families and communities affected by the recent tragedy."
He bowed his head briefly, letting silence fall inside the meeting room.
"This attack took lives, and it shattered many families. I will not stand here today and pretend that any of my words can undo that."
He looked up.
"What I can promise is action. Every medical expense for the injured will be fully covered. For those who suffered permanent injuries, long-term care and specialized support will be arranged."
He paused, letting the next words come slowly.
"And for every family who lost someone in this horrifying terrorist attack, we will provide a compensation package of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
Adjusting the mic slightly, Logan intentionally created a pause.
