It should be noted that Faolan is at least not creating fliers for himself? Maybe that's a positive for him. He isn't really campaigning in his own favor, despite accepting the nomination because he'd been too dumbfounded by it to really think of turning it down. He recognizes now that perhaps this is not the best way of keeping his head down, however.

"I..." he says, glancing at the flier and then at Sylvia and then wondering for a moment if perhaps this is it. The moment where he's made a mistake where there is no coming back from. "To be honest," he says, his mouth getting away from him, "I hadn't really thought that far ahead yet." He'd been more preoccupied dealing with the aftermath that the reveal had created.
