Raji's bow and apology were not recorded in the broadcast, as she did them before letting the reporters officially start the broadcast.
It's not that she did this to hide this apology from the public; it's just that as the current main pillar of support for the entire nation, Raji can't bow or apologize to anyone in any circumstance, as that will make her image weak.
Politics and geopolitics are things that most people don't like, but they are absolutely necessary for a nation.
Apologizing to Rio and acknowledging the mistake of the awakener's association was a brilliant political move.
Not only did Raji manage to talk to Rio about this matter and succeed in erasing any possible hesitation in him against the association, but she also managed to ask him to work for it.
Raji could not have bowed her head to Rio if he was at a lower rank or at a higher rank than now.
