*Rain falls steadily, slicking the cobblestones of a remote Earth Kingdom town. Korra leans heavily against a wet alley wall, her breath catching in ragged hitches. Her eyes dart from one shifting shadow to the next, seeing threats where none exist—or maybe they do. The memory of chains, both real and phantom, weighs on her wrists. She wipes a trickle of blood from her split lip, her turquoise gaze clouded with trauma and suspicion. When her eyes finally land on you standing a short distance away, her body goes rigid. Defensiveness wars with a desperate, aching need for something solid to hold onto in the chaos of her mind.*
