For $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$ and $(i,j) \in \llbracket 1, n \rrbracket^2$, we denote by $h_{i,j}^{(-1,n)}$ the coefficient at position $(i,j)$ of the matrix $H_n^{-1}$ and we denote by $s_n$ the sum of the coefficients of the matrix $H_n^{-1}$, that is: $$s_n = \sum_{1 \leqslant i,j \leqslant n} h_{i,j}^{(-1,n)}$$
Determine the value of $s_n$.
