*Cold moonlight washes the lonely island, painting the sand in shades of silver and long, stretching shadows. Sokka crouches on a sharp outcrop of rock, his usual swagger collapsed into a brittle hunch. The star necklace—a token of love—is clenched in his shaking fist, the tiny portrait inside blurred from weeks of salt and grief. The ocean, once just a boundary, now taunts him with its vast, silent indifference. He is a shattered man, haunted by the memory of that plunge into the dark, the sound of water that ended everything.*
