His gaze shifted toward Robin, who was clad in military camouflage training attire, then to the few men standing behind him, one of them holding an urn.

A heavy, almost oppressive military presence radiated from them.

But what struck him even harder was the photo on the urn-it was of Santiago Howell, Crispin's son.

"W-who are you? Are you soldiers from a nearby base?" the man stammered, clearly taken aback.

We are comrades of Santiago, Ernest answered gravely. "We're bringing Santiago's remains back home."

Without hesitation, the man shouted to the crowd, "Make way! Make way!

"The comrades of Crispin's son, our hero Santiago, are bringing his ashes back home! They're all his comrades!"

At his loud proclamation, the villagers quickly stepped aside, clearing a path.

In the meantime, Crispin and his wife. Skye Howell, still pleading with Draven Group to stop the demolition of their house, stood frozen. They stared, dumbfounded, at the urn in Ernest's hands, the photo of their son staring back at them.. Skye collapsed immediately to the ground.

Freya and Talia rushed to her side, helping her to a nearby chair.

Crispin, pushing past the Draven Group thugs, stumbled forward toward Ernest. Falling to his knees, he clutched his son's urn tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Santiago... you've finally come home!

"You'll never again taste the stew your mother used to make for you in our house!

"These monsters are destroying our lives!

"Santiago... I'm so sorry! I couldn't give you a peaceful place to rest. They're tearing down our home!
