    Summary

    Zuko knelt before his father on the day of Ozai's coronation and said, "I am your loyal servant. I do not fear being burned."

    Zuko remembers, vividly, bowing before the court, bowing before his father, and wishing he could say something else. Something like, I will honor you, or respect you, or even obey you.

    He wishes there was some other way to prove loyalty, some other way to prove love.

    He wishes he could have said something true, but he has always, always feared being burned.

    Or

    After escaping the Boiling Rock, Zuko and Hakoda have a discussion about duty, loyalty, and love.
