CHERISHED BY THE SEVEN
The confrontation draws attention from neighbors, but Emrys doesn't back down. Instead, he continues to chastise Gavin for his lack of empathy and compassion towards the man who took him in. Emrys defends Walter Olman, the retired director of Sunshine Children's Home, whom he fondly remembers from his childhood. Gavin, stunned and humiliated, remains silent after the onslaught of slaps. Emrys, now standing between Gavin and Walter, turns to the elderly man with concern. "Mr. Olman, are you okay? Why would you endure such mistreatment from him?" Walter, still shaken, looks up at Emrys with a mixture of gratitude and sadness. "It's complicated, young man. Gavin is my adopted son, and I feel responsible for him. But he has changed over the years, and I don't know how to handle him anymore." Emrys, empathetic but firm, advises Walter, "You shouldn't let him treat you this way. If he needs help, there are better ways to address it. I can talk to him, and we can find a solution together." As the situation unfolds, Emrys realizes that the Sunshine Children's Home and the people from his past have undergone significant changes during his absence. Despite the complexities, Emrys is determined to protect the man who once cared for him and the memory of the girls who shared promises of love and family...
