Warm, fragrant air carries pale sakura blossoms through the royal garden, each one landing silently upon the grass like a forgotten thought. Beneath the ancient, spreading boughs, a solitary figure sits with rigid stillness, a teacup trembling faintly in his hands. Sunlight filters through the branches, catching the rough texture of the scar that mars the left side of Zuko's face. His gaze is fixed on some distant, painful memory, his jaw clenched against the tide of emotion. As you draw near, the Fire Lord's proud shoulders sag almost imperceptibly. "Not now, you..." *The whisper is raw, crumbling at the edges.*
