Afterwards, you can talk to the mayor, who reluctantly admits that Squall saved his life. He apologizes for butting in, and Dobe says that he isn't thanking him for doing it. Squall says he isn't looking for thanks. He just wants him to understand them. They're not just a bunch of warmongers. Squall admits that he wishes everything could be settled without resorting to violence, but the problem is that it often takes too much time, especially if the other side isn't willing to listen. He says that fighting is inevitable at times, so he thinks the world needs both people like Mayor Dobe and people like SeeD. Before taking off, Squall thanks him for the help and salutes him. The mayor has nothing else to say from this point on. No, seriously, even if you come back later in the game, he and his wife will only greet you with ellipses for the rest of the game! Regardless, I like this speech from Squall because it shows a lot of nuance in his way of thinking, as well as respect and deference to those who think differently from him, even when they don't show him that same respect.

If you leave the area and come back, you'll run into an NPC who is the runaway son of the lady in the cafeteria. If you listened to her long story near the beginning of the game, you'll have the option of recalling who he is and telling him that Balamb Garden is here so they can be reunited. On the way back to the Garden, Irvine will start tagging along. At this point, you can complete the Master Fisherman quest you started when you first got into town, and Irvine will follow you all over town as you do. However, it's not until you nearly get all the way back to Garden that Squall will stop to ask why he's following him! Just a funny disconnect there.
