Chapter 256: A Future Redeemed, Once and Always, Part 1

The next day.

Once we three are back in our home sweet home after quite a festive night, we had a good sleep, and we now wake up feeling more refreshed than ever, doing the usual morning rituals with gusto.

And of course, Lavian, Alexa, Aldwin, and Robinson form the neighbors' welcoming party.

An expected but still nonetheless heartwarming "Welcome back, Brave Ad 65!" greets our eyes and ears once we're done with the morning rituals.

Lavian initiates, "We knew you had it in you to face those issues head-on and deal with them!"

Alexa follows, "You've helped others help themselves, and now you've helped one another conquer your own personal demons."

Aldwin supplements, "Many people, me included, look up to you, and you didn't let them, and yourselves, down."

Robinson finalizes, "You've definitely made the monumental upgrade."

They all give us pats on our shoulders.
