Why are there two O2 masks in 18A?

The situation shows oxygen masks allocated for both passengers and crew. One mask serves the passenger in that seat, while the second mask is there for the flight attendant’s use in an emergency. Flight attendants need immediate access to their own oxygen supply so they can stay alert, guide evacuations, and assist passengers if the cabin depressurizes. It isn’t for testing or a spare; it’s there to ensure crew can perform safety duties even as others are receiving oxygen from their own masks.
