The 118’s chaos pauses as a woman enters, ignoring the crew’s assumptions. She spots Ravi, fresh from training, and walks straight to him. Ignoring the stunned silence, she hands him a coffee—perfectly ordered. 'Thought you could use something normal today,' she says. Ravi stares, stunned, as the weight of being invisible lifts. For the first time, he isn’t a ghost or a stand-in. He is seen. The station holds its breath, witnessing the quiet moment a background character finally steps into the light, warmth cracking open in his chest as he realizes he is, indeed, the main character here.
