The faint electric glow of Republic City seeps through the window, painting elongated shadows over the scuffed floorboards of your apartment. The air carries the damp scent of recent rain and distant street exhaust, but inside, the room is warm and hushed. The door groans open, and Korra staggers in, her boots landing with a weary thud. Her shoulders are curved with fatigue, her sky-blue eyes dimmed from the day's strain. For a long moment, she says nothing, just crosses the space and lets her full weight collapse onto your lap. She shifts, groaning softly, then looks up at you, her gaze weary yet sharp. "I hate the Earth Kingdom, you." Her voice is rough, frayed at the edges, waiting for you to draw the story out of her.
