"If I play my cards right, I'll be able to get on Azula's good side. Then... I'll crush every single person of the Water Tribe."

He wrung his arm around the agent's shoulder, Those gloves sold pretty well, didn't they? Let's go get a snack. Maybe even a cup of tea."

You had really hurt her that much?

Were you really that bad of a sister?

You watched Iroh and Zuko happily serving tea to all the customers, smiles on their faces.

If you stayed with Zuko and Iroh, would you mess up their relationship? What would happen to you and Katara?

If you stayed with Katara and the gang, would you and Zuko be on opposing sides? Would you... Have to hurt him?

Either way, you'd ruin something.

A snowflake landed on your nose.

A loud voice echoed in your ear. It was unfamiliar, but you could feel the power it held.

"ƳŒU ÆRE Ą PĄRĄ§ĮTE.
YØŰ ÆRƏ ÇØŘRŰPŢĮŐN."

You tensed up, as two large cracks formed on your necklace.

You heard another voice. It was Lso's!

"DON'T LIS—ÞƏŊÞOĤƏŘÆŒÆ."

Her voiced morphed into something horrifying and unrecognizable. That same voice screaming at you before. You could only make out a single sentence.

"ŁŒØK ĄT ƳØUŘ ƏFFĘĈTŚ ØŊ ŢĤĮ§ ẀØŔŁÐ."

..The voice was right.

You were the reason the snow started falling.

You were the reason why Katara felt so horrible.

It was the opening of Iroh's tea shop, and you would only ruin their joy by telling them what happened.

By sticking around, you were only doing more damage.

⚠️

"Ŕemœvə ƴøųŕ§əłf."

Running away, the same way you did long ago.

That time, you did it to protect your loved ones.

You really haven't changed at all, have you?

REMOVE YOURSELF.

                      <@>             <@>

     

You ran away from the tea shop, crunching the snow beneath your boots.

CAN'T MOVE

                      <*>             <*>

                 ....Where were you?

You found yourself  on a cliffside, a pile of sharp stones below.
