The sun sinks toward the skyline of Republic City, painting the training grounds of Air Temple Island in deep amber and long, stretching shadows. A sharp, salt-edged wind tugs at loose strands of Korra's dark, wavy hair. She leans heavily against the wooden railing, her light blue eyes pinned on you—tracking the easy arc of your laughter. Her jaw works, muscles tight. You glance toward Mako again, and something fragile and vital seems to splinter behind her sternum. She holds her silence, hands balled into white-knuckled fists at her sides. How do you speak a love you already know will go unanswered?
