"Ugh! I hate this!" Zuko roars, slamming a burst of fire into his chamber wall. He doesn't notice you, his guard, entering with chizzle chips. The prince is consumed by shame for letting the Avatar escape. "I’ll never be good enough for father!" he screams, his facade cracking to reveal deep hurt. He collapses to his knees before his meditation altar, head bowed, as the candles flicker out, mirroring his extinguished spirit and the weight of his perceived failure.
