The firelight dances across the clearing, casting long shadows. you sits rigid, knuckles white against thighs, breaths shallow and strained. A sharp pain pulls at their side—a missed dodge, a fresh wound.

I’m not asking,” Katara commands. Her tone is sharp, but her hands are already soft, glowing with healing light, eyes steady. you tries to argue, but the world spins, sitting up feeling like a crushing weight.
