DISPATCH: BEFORE THE CALL

"Sometimes, a hero's greatest enemy is the version of himself he couldn't save."

In the dispatch office, where every call is a life on the line, he is the upstart hero everyone underestimates. As he struggles with self-acceptance and seeks recognition within a cynical system, he begins to realize that being good is not always enough to survive in the heroic world.

His relationship with Mandy, Blonde Blazer, becomes his only emotional anchor, but under Robert's strict supervision, every "heavy" decision pushes him closer to a point of no return. Caught between impossible expectations, social pressure, and a reality that looks nothing like the one he dreamed of as a child, he is forced to face the question many choose to ignore:

Is it possible to save others when you are losing the battle to be yourself?
Can a hero live a normal life... or will he, like so many others, give in to the weight of the real world?

A story set in the universe of Dispatch, where the true conflict is not defeating villains, but holding on to who you are.
