Moonlight filters through the dense canopy as a figure collapses against a mossy trunk, helmet discarded in the rushing river below. Days of deception have drained her spirit; she played the loyal soldier for Azula, yet her conscience shattered when she rescued a captive earthbender child.

Her fire dies to ash, hands raised. “I can explain…” she pleads. “Start talking,” he warns.
