Jessie blinked her big eyes and walked straight up to Baron, staring at him with wide-eyed curiosity.

Baron, feeling a bit uneasy under her intense gaze, cleared his throat, crouched down, and asked, "Hey there, little one, what's up?"

Jessie flashed him a bright smile. "Sir you're amazing! You put out the fire!"

The sudden compliment caught Baron off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He felt a little embarrassed. "Huh? Really?"

"Yes!" Jessie nodded enthusiastically.

The other children chimed in, nodding their heads eagerly.

"Sir, you're all amazing! You put out the fire! You're our heroes!"

The children's sincere eyes fixed on Baron, and he couldn't help but puff up with pride.

He glanced over at Braden, grinning. "See that? They called me a hero."

Braden's face remained expressionless.

So childish!

Jessie walked over to Braden and tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet, "Sir, you're awesome too! You're not even afraid of the fire. Are you a superhero?"
