The atmosphere was strange that day. The same people who had once whispered poison about Keira, the ones who had been cruel with their words and quick with their judgments, now couldn’t even meet her eyes. Every time her gaze swept the room, heads turned the other way. Guilt had a funny way of making people shrink.
Old Mr. Sims, on the other hand, radiated nothing but sincerity. He stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Keira’s shoulder, his old, weathered voice filled with gratitude. "Young lady, thank you for standing up for me last time."
Keira lowered her gaze, humble as always. "No need to thank me; it was the right thing to do."
But the others wouldn’t let it go that easily. Brian, their energy renewed, chimed in immediately, followed by the rest of the group. "Yes, Senior Sister, we owe you big time! Without your help, we would have made a terrible mistake!"
They knew, better than anyone, that if their punishment had been carried out that day, old Mr. Sims might not have survived. Keira hadn’t just spoken up—she had quite literally saved the old man’s life. And that thought alone made Brian’s eyes glitter with deep gratitude. He was ready to say more, to pour out every ounce of thanks he felt, but Keira cut him off with a calm shake of her head.
"The ones who deserve the most respect here are Mr. Sims and Professor Brandt. I just did something small. Let’s not get things twisted."
She tried to step back, to fade into the background and redirect all attention to those who truly earned it. But Brian wasn’t having it.
"Senior Sister, there’s no need to be so modest. I have nothing but respect for you!" He gave her a respectful salute—the kind that meant something in their circles. "From now on, everyone in the Special Division will follow your lead!"
Keira waved her hands, almost flustered. "That’s really not necessary..."
But old Mr. Sims let out a warm chuckle. "When the Sect Leader couldn’t find an apprentice, I worried that James would end up taking over the Freeman Sect. I had my doubts, but who would have thought he’d bring back such a talented disciple? Young lady, there’s no need to feel anxious. The Special Division has always been closely tied to the Freeman Sect, so it’s only natural for Brian and the others to follow your lead."
Keira paused, looking at the old man’s earnest face and the genuine respect surrounding her. Finally, she let out a soft sigh. "Alright then."
Her quiet acceptance seemed to settle the room, and soon enough, the attention shifted to Professor Brandt, who turned to Lewis. "Mr. Horton, we couldn’t have made it back home safely without you."
Lewis gave a simple nod. "It was nothing."
He was always distant like that, a man of few words who kept his emotions locked behind a fortress of silence. Barry, ever perceptive, understood Lewis’s personality well enough not to push. Instead, he smiled and turned to old Mr. Sims. "Sims, how about we grab a drink tonight?"
"Sounds good!"
Old Mr. Sims, now in his eighties, leaned heavily on his cane as he carefully made his way over to Barry. Every step carried the weight of decades. "Seeing you back home has put my heart at ease. Barry, make sure you keep contributing to the country’s research. My sacrifice won’t have been in vain."
Barry’s eyes grew misty. "I will."
A soft smile spread across old Mr. Sims’s face. "You always talked about how great the roasted duck is in Clance. I haven’t had it in twenty years. Shall we get some tonight?"
Barry’s voice trembled just slightly. "Of course! I've even got some fine wine saved up just for you."
Old Mr. Sims nodded warmly, then turned to Keira. "Young lady, care to join us?"
Keira smiled politely. "I'll leave you two to it."
With that, old Mr. Sims began to walk away, Holly carefully supporting him as Barry joined their slow procession toward the exit. But after a few steps, the old man looked over at Holly with a gentle expression.
"Holly, I haven't treated you or your parents well these past few days. You've all had to bear the burden of my mistakes."
Holly wiped away her tears, her voice shaking. "Grandpa, don’t say that. It’s an honor to be your granddaughter! I'm proud of you."
"Good girl!" Old Mr. Sims gently wiped her tears with a trembling hand. "Your father once planned to stay in the Special Division, but I handed it over to Brian. I wonder if he holds any grudges against me..."
Holly shook her head firmly. "The weight that comes with the Special Division is too much. Dad’s always been easygoing; he’s never blamed you."
"That’s good to hear."
They walked a little further, and then old Mr. Sims suddenly glanced back at her, a knowing look in his eyes. "You know, having Miss Olsen as a friend is the best thing that’s ever happened to you. Don’t you dare get into fights with her again."
Holly froze, her eyes misting over once more. "Grandpa, you knew?"
She remembered those difficult days at school, the falling out with Keira, the cold loneliness that followed. She had told her grandpa about it when they came to Clance, thinking he would forget. But the old man knew everything.
Old Mr. Sims chuckled softly. "You're not one to make many friends, but the way you stood up for her back then tells me this friendship isn’t just casual."
He turned to Keira, his voice carrying a quiet request. "Miss Olsen, take care of Holly, will you? She can be a bit stubborn."
Keira smiled, warmth in her voice. "I will."
And then, old Mr. Sims turned back to Barry, ready to continue their long-awaited reunion. But suddenly, he stopped. His body trembled. His grip tightened around Barry's hand.
"Barry, there’s something I need to apologize for."
Barry looked puzzled. "What's that?"
Old Mr. Sims smiled weakly, a fragile, heartbreaking thing. "I’m afraid... I won’t be able to join you for that roast duck."
And with those words, his eyes closed. His hand slipped from Barry’s grip, and the old man collapsed to the floor.
"Grandpa!!"
"Sims!"
The cries tore through the air, mixing with the sudden cold silence. But the old man didn’t answer. He just lay still, as if he had finally said everything he needed to say, and slipped away on the very day he was supposed to celebrate a reunion.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my heart. This chapter was a powerful mix of redemption, humility, and gut-wrenching sorrow. I absolutely loved seeing Keira receive the recognition she deserved, especially from Brian and the Special Division. Her quiet strength and refusal to take credit only made her more admirable. But that ending... I was not ready. Old Mr. Sims had been carrying so much weight, and the fact that he collapsed right when everything seemed to be healing is devastating. The way he made sure Holly was taken care of, the way he made peace with Barry, the way he said his final goodbye without even saying it—it was painfully beautiful. This chapter reminds us that life is fragile, and forgiveness should never wait. The emotional depth here is incredible, and the writing really pulls at your heartstrings.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With old Mr. Sims collapsing after his final farewell, the next chapter is bound to be a whirlwind of grief and urgency. I predict Keira will step in immediately to try to save him, using every skill she possesses—but whether she can bring him back from the brink remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Barry’s reunion will turn into a race against time, and the guilt everyone feels will bring hidden truths to the surface. Could old Mr. Sims’s death be tied to something deeper? And will Holly be able to keep her composure? One thing is certain—Keira won’t stand by and let fate take another person she cares about without a fight.
