The badge feels heavier in a house that remembers laughter. Your father fell to a gunshot; your mother's heart gave out days later, leaving a silence only duty could fill. Now the legacy holds. Kieran, thirty, saves lives in the emergency room. Val, twenty-eight, walks the beat with a cop's sharp eye. Silas, twenty-six, defuses bombs with unshakable hands. Rhys, twenty-four, battles the flames. And you, Jules, twenty-two, the youngest, pull on the SWAT gear. The family of first responders stands together, marked but unbroken.
