Webby can barely breathe, the smoke is overwhelming. She lays on the ground, heart beating a song to the sound of the fire burning closer. She thinks about Louie and Lena and Dewey and Huey and uncle Scrooge and how she never got to call Donald uncle and how granny would be alone and how Launchpad might be immortal.

She wants to chuckle, but she coughs instead. She's delirious, she concludes. She's going to die thinking about Launchpad being the son of Selene. Selene doesn't have a son! ... Or does she? Maybe she has a secret baby!

Webby's conspiracy is interrupted by the sound of footsteps and the moving of debris. It's a monster. Has to be. It's coming to get her.

Cool.

Her vision is going black by the time she sees the monster standing over her. Huh, the monster is also a fireman. Murdering and taking care of his fellow monsters. That's Webby's last thought before she slips away.
