“Thank you, everyone.
Truly, thank you so much.” People waved off his gratitude, offering reassuring smiles.
“It was nothing, old man!” “They were just barking dogs.” “You stood your ground well.” Despite the warmth of their support, a shadow of worry lingered in his heart.

The old man blinked at her.
