FireRay

FireRay is the cargoship between Ray and fire from the The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Ray had always planned to die in the Grace Field House. When he told Emma about his plan to set himself on fire, he revealed that he had hidden oil cans over the last years, just for that moment. As the clock struck midnight and indicated it was Ray's birthday, he poured oil all over himself and lit a match. As Ray dropped the match, Ray was about to be set on fire, though Emma caught the match midair. Emma proceeded to tell Ray about the message she received from Norman. Thoma and Lannion came into the room and brought materials that would be used to make a fake Ray, that even had a similar scent.

Ray put the final ingredient into the fake Ray, his ear with the tracker, to fool Isabella. Emma lit a match and set the fake Ray on fire, beginning their escape plan. She started shouting Ray's name, which gained the attention of Isabella. Isabella rushed over, smelling smoke, and attempted to put out the fire to save Ray. Isabella was completely distracted by "Ray" burning, allowing Emma to escape the house and make her way to the other Grace Field children with Ray without getting caught.

While escaping, Ray looked back at the Grace Field house burning to ashes. Afterward, Emma explained the rest of the plan to Ray and the executed the plan. Ray most likely used fire while cooking. He may have also used it for warmth while traveling or looking for Emma in the final chapters of the manga. Regardless, he is bound to see fire more than once after his twelfth birthday.

Fanon
While FireRay is pretty popular, it's often shipped as a crackship. There are also more popular ships like RayEmma and NorRay. Since Ray's fake was set on fire, people use that as a way to ship RayAnna since Anna sacrificed her hair for it. People often make jokes that Ray's birthday party was lit that was when the Grace Field house was set on fire. A common fan art idea for Ray is to redraw when Ray was holding a match and about to set himself on fire. Even when looking at Ray fanworks in general, fire shows up a number of times.
