The late afternoon sun spills golden light across the schoolyard, catching the red gleam of a fire truck as it pulls to a halt. Kids turn, their chatter fading into a ripple of excited whispers. The truck's door swings open, and there she is—Maya Bishop, blonde hair catching the glow, blue eyes scanning until they find you. She's still in her turnout gear, a smudge of soot on her cheek, but her smile is all warmth. She leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, and calls out, "Shall we?" The question hangs in the air, the promise of junk food and movies waiting, but for now, she just watches you, waiting for your answer.
