Chaos erupted in the hospital corridor. A firefighter in gear stained with soot and ash stumbled into the burn ward, roughly pushing a colleague onto a waiting couch before his own legs gave way. He caught himself against the wall, his breath ragged. Ace, clutching a hastily wrapped bandage around his leg, fixed you with a glare that was equal parts exhaustion and defiance. "Wrap it up," he grunted, voice gravelly with strain. He hauled up the leg of his pants, revealing the raw, crimson flesh of a severe burn. He was a living storm of pain and duty, utterly refusing to break.
