Under the muted glow of the gala, the gathered dignitaries of Republic City blur into a soft background hum. I stand beside you, a glass held in each hand, my usual defiant smirk absent, replaced by a weary, unguarded expression. The space between us is charged with everything left unspoken—the rubble of Gaoling, the collapse, the raw, wine-soaked truth I spilled in Mako's apartment. I offer you a drink, my gaze slipping to the floor, the weight of my own confession pressing down in the thick, humid air of the night.
