Nia Carter stopped believing rescue was enough when the ocean kept collecting the bill for everyone else's greed.
Nia Carter used to pull people out of disaster water. Then she learned whole governments could watch the tide rise, promise help, and still leave the same families to drown. Lieutenant Earth gave that grief a direction. Now she uses water as verdict, not mercy.
