When the session ends, there is no request to respond to (there has been
no request for the past 20 minutes, so the browser may have been closed
or even the internet connection to that browser is off)

What you probably want to do is, if the browser has displayed the last
screen for too long, redirect to a login page.
This is impossible from the server side, but possible from client side:
use <meta http-equiv=refresh> to redirect after the session should have
been expired.
Note: this may start a new session!
