i looked up US presidential speeches for this. nothing to read into there.
TRANSCRIPT:
panel 1: Marek, in formal dress, stands on the castle battlements overlooking the city. He has some kind of magic microphone in front of him. He addresses the crowd: "We have gathered here to celebrate Cadia- to celebrate ourselves, and how far we've come." Behind him is Elias side-eyeing the Maighstir, who is just smiling, and the Priomh, who looks bored.
panel 2: Di, the stable-person, listens out of a stable window, eyebrow raised. A horse listens with them.
panel 3: Ms Vega stands in front of her shop, smiling and listening. Her employees look out the bakery window, also listening. An elf and a child sit on a blanket in front of the bakery, listening to Marek.
panel 4: Nobles sit in rows of chairs set out for them. Saturnina and Nabil, Chaar's relatives, talk nervously over a chair marked for Ayesha, Chaar's mom.
panel 5: A couple of army recruits order another round of beer, looking very joyful. They're the same recruits that weren't very helpful to Aoife earlier.
Marek talks (off-screen) over panels 2-5: "Together, with grit and determination, we pulled this country from the grip of despair, and rose to greater heights than any thought possible."
panel 6: Hana stands in front of a few preachan, in a fancy little dragon man outfit. He looks at the.. leashes attached to his arms, being held by the preachan. Hana scratches at his chest, he's holding a rectangular purple object in one hand. Marek continues (off-screen): "We have stumbled along the way, but we lifted each other up, and stood tall, hand in hand."
