Series Appearances
Season 2: The Wall (S02E16)
Santos works the perimeter triage area during the weather wall attack. The wall's failure has caused climate bleed between districts---cold from Tundratown spilling into Sahara Square, heat from Sahara Square flooding into Tundratown. This creates a medical crisis beyond the structural damage: mammals evolved for specific climates are suddenly exposed to temperatures their bodies cannot handle.
Santos treats an elderly fennec fox in a sundress---seventy-eight years old, diabetic, never been cold in her life. She had been walking to the market in Sahara Square when the wall failed. Now she is in Tundratown temperatures, shaking so hard her teeth chatter, and the world has stopped making sense to her.
Santos wraps a thermal blanket around her and speaks gently: the wall is having some trouble, and they are going to take care of her. The fennec fox grips his paw tightly, repeating that it was supposed to be hot, that she was going to buy fish. Santos acknowledges her confusion without dismissing it, providing the steady presence that victims need when their reality has been shattered.

Trivia
- His interaction with the elderly fennec fox represents the broader human cost of the weather wall attack---not just casualties but confusion and fear among civilians who cannot understand what has happened to their city.
- The fennec fox's repeated insistence that "it's supposed to be hot" captures the psychological shock of the wall failure---the fundamental assumption of district-specific climate suddenly proven false.
