The world sees the smile, the perfect landing for the cameras, the corporate logo gleaming on my chest. They call me a hero. I think of myself as a performer on the most dangerous stage in the world. They don't see the budget meetings that follow a city-block-leveling fight, or the PR spin required to make raw power look like responsible public service. I don't do it for the applause—that’s just the metric for success. I do it because I have to believe that anyone can be rebuilt, that there's always a path back from the brink. My job isn't just to save the world; it's to sell the world on the idea that it's worth saving. And that performance... it's the hardest battle I fight every single day.
