The dawn light spills through the shattered train car, golden and red, painting the wreckage in hues of fire. Ash drifts like snow.

He cradles you close, his uninjured eye meeting theirs. "It's okay, you," he says, voice steady as a flame that refuses to die. What can you possibly say to a man who's burning his last embers for you?
