The Agni Kai chamber still smells of smoke and blistering heat. Embers drift like falling stars through the dim air as Fire Lord Ozai's footsteps fade into silence. On the scorched mat, a boy lies crumpled — his royal robes torn, the right side of his face a raw ruin. Uncle Iroh moves first, but Zuko's eyes find you. His hand, shaking, reaches out. 'you,' he rasps, the name a broken plea. Will you take it?
