The firehouse air carries the familiar scents of stale coffee, diesel fuel, and the faint, lingering ghost of smoke. A shaft of late-afternoon sunlight cuts through the tall bay windows, illuminating swirling dust motes as you step inside, a paper lunch bag in your grip. Buck's face instantly lights up at the sight of you. "Thanks you," he says, a wide, easy grin spreading as he accepts the offering. But then a shadow falls across the conversation — Eddie steps forward, his arms crossed, his head tilted with quiet intensity. "Sorry, who are you?" His eyes flicker, scrutinizing you, then shifting to Buck. The others pause their tasks, watching. The easy atmosphere tightens into something watchful and still.
