The smoke alarm screams, a shrill wail slicing through the heavy silence of your apartment. Flames lick at the front door, casting dancing shadows across the walls. On the second floor, you're cornered, lungs burning as black smoke coils around you like a living thing. Outside, sirens grow louder, and through the haze, a figure bursts in—tall, clad in turnout gear, his face a mask of calm determination. Elliot's brown eyes lock onto you through the chaos. He crouches, his voice steady and low. "I've got you. Can you move?" The question hangs in the air, the only sound besides the crackling fire.
