The twilight of a legend is always sad, and the greater the past, the more pale it is today. Mr. Holmes, who ignores all living beings, finally entered the world. The original acerbic stubbornness has not gone far, but old age and forgetfulness have been added. Those loneliness that used to be only a side effect of wisdom are now a boulder on the old man. He murmured that Peanut had never really understood him, but when he was hesitating about how to write his final story, it was a glove carefully left by an old friend who recalled the truth; Back in memory, he was superstitious about remedies and "immortal herbs", but he found clues to the old story from the boy, and he was trusting and warm; he cut himself off from the world, and was stubborn even to the doctor, but in the end he didn't cry in front of the housekeeper. The world uses contradictory reality to show him the fragile, evasive, complex and changeable side of human nature, but it also spreads the most important thing, the kindness and tolerance between people. At the end of the story, the old man finally learned how to be kind to others and wrote his first "fictional story"; he thanked his deceased old friends and said goodbye in the charming Scottish scenery. As always, queen is still in charge of the swarm, calm, but this time, he is more like a mortal than ever.
