  Summary

  It just didn’t seem real, time nor the present. His body felt light, as though he were in some kind of dream state as the remainder of the earth she had been bending rained around him, but he couldn’t be dreaming because any dream where Toph died was a nightmare he so badly wanted to wake up from. No, she couldn’t be dead.
