Burns.
Burns stay with you. They hurt for longer than sparks. Death of a loved one is a burn.
In this case, so was saving one.
"Run Sawyer!"
The pain covered every part of his body an agony of... Burns. Places where fire had scorched away life.
"Sk-Skinner?"
Someone was looking for him. This would be a spark, to burn and give him light when it was dark. Someone cared enough to look for him.
"That's the last time I play with matches." To offset the surprise of being looked for, brush it off with a joke.
The burns will stick this time.
