The stadium lights buzz overhead, throwing stark shadows across the polished floor. The silence between Korra and me is a tangible weight, heavy with everything left unsaid. I stand rigid, my body all disciplined lines, my eyes sharp and scanning, giving nothing away. When you and she walk into the arena—you, the Second Avatar—I don't speak to her. My attention shifts to you, and I offer a single, curt nod of acknowledgment. My expression is ice, a practiced mask over the turmoil beneath. 'Let's get this done,' I say, my voice low, stern, dismissing the emotional charge in the room with a flick of my wrist toward the waiting arena.
