[ uncle iroh music plays in the bg ]

[ he actually.... his eyes get a little misty. it's been such a long week. ]

How can you forgive me so easily?

[dawnblushed]

...how could I not?

[she is not letting go of him]

You did your best to keep people safe the entire time. Even when it was really, really hard for you.

[cuedoves]

I didn't really accomplish anything. [ ... ] And I couldn't.... You, Soo-Won..... both splintered. I couldn't do anything.

[dawnblushed]

No one could have prevented that.

[her voice is soft.]

Once it started, there was only one way to keep everyone else safe. ...he did what he had to do, when he came after me.

[and she's sure whoever took soo-won out did what they had to when they came after him.]

But, we came back. Thanks to all of you working together on this side. You made a difference to us, that way.

[cuedoves]

[ she's not wrong, but..... losing them both one week apart, with shigeo in the mix? it's rough, buddy. ]

[ and well... ]

I think you're overestimating the part I played in all that, Yona.

[dawnblushed]

I think you're underestimating how much stronger people feel when they have your support, Zuko.

[she says. while hugging him.]

[cuedoves]

.... There aren't that many people.

[ he rests his chin on he forehead, at least. ]

[dawnblushed]

...I think you're underestimating that too.

[confidence, zuko!!]

I rely on you a lot.

[cuedoves]

I'm really not.

[ he sounds... well, maybe it's meant to come out bitter, but he mostly just sounds sad. ]

... I know you do. And I won't let you down again.

[dawnblushed]

Zuko... you never let me down at all.

[her hug tightens around him.]
