SPOKESMAN
“The room feels tight, like it's holding its breath.
The world is a question. Power prefers to remain out of reach.
But HIS job is to Speak.
All eyes are on HIM, because HE is the SPOKESMAN.
One day, everyone will have always known. Will have always been against this.
Or not.
But now is the moment: The Statement, the Answers, the Truth…
Any questions from the Audience?”
