Burning Embers: Above the Embers

Fire cannot speak. But she will speak for the fire. The first time Shen Jin saw Lu Ran was on the ruins of a fire. He came out from the second floor, with a hole burned in the front of his combat uniform, holding a children's watch in his hand that shouldn't be there. She asked: "Who is the deceased?" He couldn't tell. Later she found out that the man who said "received" had stayed in the fire scene for three more minutes that day. He didn't save anyone or put out the fire in those three minutes. In those three minutes, he promised one person—— Never let her know that her father's death was not an accident. She is the one looking for the truth in the fire scene. He is the one who saves people from the fire. They stood on the same ruins, and the answer she wanted lay in those three minutes of his silence.
