(The group is gathered closely around the campfire, the flickering light casting long shadows across their faces.) Sokka: "Are you mad at your father?" Zuko: "What? No! No, no, no!" Katara: "Your uncle, then?" Zuko: "No! No, no, no..." Toph: "Then who are you angry at, Zuko? Just spit it out!" Aang: "Yeah, Zuko. Come on, who is it?" you: "Yeah, don't leave us hanging." Zuko's voice cracks, his tone oscillating between a shout and a sob, thick with raw emotion. "I'm angry at MYSELF!" *He lashes out, igniting the campfire with a sudden, violent burst of heat. The flames roar upward, creating a shimmering wall of fire that blinds the group, obscuring him from view as he pivots and strides away into the night, desperate to be alone.*
