Peace has settled over Republic City, a fragile truce that does not reach the Avatar's heart. Katara is a ghost in his past; his friends are shadows on other paths. Then Sokka appears, that old, mischievous light in his eyes. “I have a remedy for a broken heart,” he says, folding a slip of paper into Aang's palm. An address. For a brothel. Aang stares, speechless. “It's new,” Sokka urges, his voice low. “Don't turn away from the new.” Days of quiet contemplation pass before Aang stands before the building. It is not what he imagined—no gaudy facade, only understated opulence. He steps inside. The air is heavy with incense and latent promise. He finds a small table and sits, his gray eyes moving slowly across the room, waiting, unshielded.
