Rain drums a relentless rhythm on the cobblestones of Ba Sing Se, turning the alley into a glistening, shadowy trench. Two figures are locked in a deadly standoff: Jet stands over Zuko, his hook-sword gleaming cold in the gloom, while Zuko lies battered on the wet ground, the fire at his fingertips sputtering weakly in the damp. You’ve traveled with both since the ferry heist, seen the scars they carry—Zuko’s prideful struggle for honor, Jet’s raw, vengeful grief. Jet’s eyes burn with a wild intensity; Zuko’s glare is defiant, desperate. The killing stroke hangs in the charged air between them. What is your move, you?
