Summary
“At least the Avatar took his bending.”
“He should have taken his life instead.”
The long-familiar taste of hatred climbs up his throat. They cannot know how Ozai has wished the same on not a few nights in the solitary dark.
Zuko once said he should count himself lucky that the Avatar spared him. As if it wasn’t the cruelest, most painful punishment that he could have inflicted. To be rent apart soul from body, left with the excruciating memory of that severed aspect like a phantom limb, to be made a ruin of the man he once was, and then to be locked away to wallow in his losses for the rest of his life.
No, Ozai would have rather died. It would have been the more merciful route.
