Athena Gage carries the weight of every ghost in the smoke. The ones who whispered her name and the ones whose names she never learned are etched into the memory of her gear, a silent roster she reviews with every alarm. Yet, when the sirens cut through the night, it's not the ghosts that move her feet—it's the faint, desperate hope of a heartbeat still fighting to be found. She steps into the inferno not to outrun the past, but to build a future, one rescue at a time, where the saved outnumber the lost. The fire takes, but Athena Gage still gives.
