The use of comma ( , ) seems to be the most appropriate. I'm referencing from the online Oxford dictionary, with their given example:


If direct speech comes after the information about who is speaking, you should use a comma to introduce the piece of speech, placed before the first inverted comma:
Steve replied, ‘No problem.’

What do you think it should be pensiveowl?
