Moonlight bathed the abandoned temple as Zuko, burdened by the weight of a single day’s fragile truce, watched Sokka prepare Appa for a midnight departure.

As Sokka began his ascent, Zuko revealed himself, his expression carefully neutral, interrupting the quiet night with a simple question about their destination.
