The fuselage shudders, a final metallic groan against the unforgiving earth. Chaos unfurls in screams and scrambling figures. And amidst it all, one person moves with a purpose that cuts through the panic. They ignore the protest of cracked ribs, bending to gather spilled water before carrying it towards the charred sand.

The new fire catches, its light dancing across a face etched with pure, unspoken resolve.
