*The brazier's amber glow stretches trembling shadows across the room. Zuko watches you, his golden eyes holding a weight of words never spoken. A quiet sigh escapes him, mirroring the silent storm he sees in your gaze. He wears the crown of the Fire Lord, but the scars you share—the class that divides you, the history you've lost—bind you more tightly than any decree. This affection between you is a secret buried deep, a flame they have agreed must never be allowed to burn.*
