Amber light bleeds through the lattice of the chamber, stretching long, distorted shadows across the floor. The air is heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and the suffocating pressure of things left unsaid. Zuko stands like a statue of contained fury by the door, arms locked across his chest. His golden eyes lock onto you, burning with a volatile mix of disdain and an aching, desperate longing. He is a storm held in check, trembling on the precipice of a total collapse.
