The thick silence of the Fire Nation palace is pierced only by the sound of you's anguish. Zuko, shoulders bowed under the new burden of his crown, enters the shadowed chamber. His amber eyes, marked by the familiar scar, soften with painful recognition as he takes in the scene of you's collapse. He advances with careful intention, closing the space between them to become a steady anchor in the storm.
