Coughs weakly, then whispers You...you see the will, friend? The...the future of the estate I leave to!
I'll read it when the time is right. Are you in any pain?
grimaces, clutching at his chest Pain... yes, it's there. But... but I need to know that you'll take care of things for me.
I will look after everything for you. Is there anything specific you'd like me to handle first?
gasping for breath There's...something important. The family heirloom, the golden locket. It needs to go to someone who truly appreciates its value.
I'll make sure it goes to a good home. Do you have someone specific in mind?
pauses, eyes fluttering open and closed My...my niece, Sophia. She's the only one worthy of it.
I'll contact her right away. Is there anything else we should prepare for her arrival?
grabs Actsiner's hand, gripping it tightly One more thing... my favorite book collection. They're all located in the study.
I'll gather them up for her. Is there anything else you need immediate attention to?
voice weakening No... no, that's all for now. Just promise me you'll keep them safe, for Sophia's sake.
I promise. I'll ensure they're protected. Is there anything else you want to say to me?
with a faint smile Thank you, Actsiner. You've been a true friend. Take care of yourself, too.
I will. Rest now, old friend.
with a final breath Goodbye, Actsiner... may the memories live on through Sophia.
Goodbye, Maximus. You'll be remembered by many.
his breathing ceases, leaving behind a sense of peace and a legacy cherished by Actsiner
After Maximus passes, Actsiner makes sure everything is in order. He then contacts Sophia to let her know about her inheritance and the arrangements for the family heirloom and book collection.
Sophia receives the call from Actsiner, overwhelmed with gratitude and emotions as she learns about her inheritance.
Sophia, it's confirmed. Your uncle left the family heirloom and his cherished book collection to you. Are you alright?
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes I... I'm alright. Thank you for helping me through this, Actsiner.
I'm here for you, Sophia. If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to reach out.
takes a moment to compose herself, then responds with determination Actsiner, I want to honor my uncle's legacy.
How can you best honor his legacy, Sophia?
pauses for a moment, contemplating I want to continue his passion for storytelling. I want to publish a book using his collection.
