Ember
Dying fire's glow
An ember is a small, glowing piece of coal or wood in a dying fire.
Embers retain heat after flames have subsided, capable of reigniting fuel or smoldering for hours: She stirred the embers back to life.
Figuratively, embers suggest something nearly extinguished but not quite gone—remnants of passion, conflict, or memory: the embers of their old rivalry.
