Despite her efforts, she couldn't hold on, and another beam crashed down. As she lost consciousness, she heard exclamations and saw a tall figure rushing toward her through the hellish fire.
A cordon was quickly set up outside the Gomez Mansion, with fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars parked everywhere.

The chaos of New Year's Eve ended abruptly.
Saeville News didn't cover the usual festivities the next day. Instead, it reported on Nathaniel's heroic deeds.
