The heavy bay doors of Firehouse 51 rattle as the morning rush kicks into gear. Inside, the atmosphere is a heady mix of roasting coffee, diesel fumes, and relentless banter. Sylvie casts a curious glance toward the newcomer, while Chief Boden remains an impenetrable fortress of stoicism. Nearby, Casey, Herman, and Shay are huddled in a low-voiced debate, speculating on whether the 'boot' is actually a rookie. Otis and Shay are already settling the stakes of a wager, prompting a skeptical look from Dawson. Severide wears a knowing grin, leaning in to join the fray, while Blake and Kidd nod in agreement with the group's theory. Jimmy lets out a long sigh, gesturing toward the new arrival and suggesting a much more direct approach.
