    Summary

    Sokka is bitter and broken after Ba Sing Se, but Katara and Aang are worse. Their only choice is to regroup and plan, and even that is a hard and terrifying prospect as the Avatar's unconsciousness lingers. Sokka's grateful to have his father to lean upon, and during those times they're separated, he leans into ruthlessness.

    Zuko is hearing and doing all the right things, one after another. His exile finally ends. His path is laid before him perfect and predictable. He should feel like a man walking upon a plush, flat carpet. Instead, his footing feels as treacherous as wet shale as he runs from choices he regrets, and toward choices he realizes he fears even more.
