### Summary
Following her and Captain Kaillou's victory over the dragon, Judith is hailed as a public hero while recovering from her injuries. The chapter marks a pivotal moment in her redemption arc as she emotionally accepts an outpouring of sincere gratitude from the citizens she protected, including touching letters of thanks that move her to tears. This non-material reward signifies a profound shift from her past greed. However, this triumph is overshadowed by significant reader anxiety concerning her friends, Louis and Violet. Judith had ordered them to retreat while she faced the dragon alone, sparking intense debate over whether they will now be punished for desertion or grow to resent her for taking all the glory. The celebratory mood is further tempered by unresolved plot threads, as the audience remains desperate for an update on the critically injured Lieutenant Desian. Continued sympathy for the slain dragon, viewed as a tragic victim of abuse, and a noted plot inconsistency regarding why Judith's "stigma" was not discovered while she was unconscious in the hospital also fuel audience discussion.
