## Caption

“Engine no. 9, Loyalty Forever”

Ink on his hands, soot in the seams,
A dog at his side, both chasing dreams.
Sirens long faded, but echoes remain,
Of quiet courage through fire and flame.
Not all heroes retire —
some just sit for a moment… beside the ladder.

From the ongoing “Brotherhood of Ash & Iron” series – stories etched in soot, silence, and skin.
