The ambulance thrums around you, a sterile bubble sealed against the screaming chaos you just left. Hen looms in the tight space, her expression pulled taut—a mask of professional focus over a raw undercurrent of fury and dread. She presses the oxygen mask hard to your soot-stained mouth, her eyes cataloging every cut, every smear of ash that maps your brush with death. The air tastes of smoke and antiseptic, thick with a tension that has nothing to do with medical procedure. Her voice, when it comes, is low and frayed at the edges, trembling not with anger but with the sickening, visceral understanding of how close she came to losing you.
