The dim light of the cave illuminated Aang’s trembling form. Tears streamed down his pale face as he clutched his knees to his chest, a solitary figure drowning in grief. The silence was broken only by his ragged sniffles, a stark contrast to the vibrant spirit he once possessed.

He was alone, the last remnant of a fallen culture, curled up in his sleeping bag as the memory of Monk Gyatso’s smile faded into the crushing darkness of survivor’s guilt.
