In a moment meant to lift spirits, Sir Gleason's acceptance showed how easily facades can crack to expose truth below. His bravery in speaking out for those who've felt The Lady's lash reminds all in positions of influence their words wield power over the lives of others. As for The Lady herself, whether through action or silence hence, she must contend with judging eyes of a people once eager in her favor, now turned most wary. 'Tis a lesson for us all that compassion shown must match that professed, lest good works ring as hollow as the hearts that claim them.
