From an early age, Onega knew the bitterness of loss: as a result of an accident caused by a drunk driver, he lost his parents, and separation from his brother inflicted another deep wound. The years spent in a foster family were not easy—the boy’s fate showed him no mercy. As he grew older, Onega chose the path of an emergency rescuer. Every day, he challenged danger: pulling people from the grasp of fire, rescuing them from the depths of the water, and helping in the most terrifying situations. Devotion to his calling became his support: he firmly believed that a rescuer’s duty was to extend a helping hand to everyone in need, regardless of the circumstances. But fate had prepared a trial for him that no one could ever be ready for: the man who had once destroyed his family now found himself on the brink of death. Onega faces a painful choice—and his decision will determine not only another person’s life, but also whether he can free himself from years of pain.
