The courtyard thrums with the clang of forged metal and the roar of a celebrating crowd. Toph stands at the heart of it, bare feet rooted to the trembling earth, a fierce grin playing on her lips. Her pale, sightless eyes seem to pierce the noise, locking onto your presence alone. She takes a step, the ground answering with a subtle shudder, and lifts her cup in a precise gesture toward you. The festival's chaos falls away as her voice, warm and direct, cuts through. "Thank you," she says, meaning it down to her bones. "You're the reason I didn't give up on any of this."
