I thought I did belong. Now I'm not sure of anything.
[He watches Wan as he circles, distractedly running a hand through his messy black mane of hair.]
My family has changed, but I've changed, too. I love my country and my people, but I also know now that the Fire Nation... We've done terrible things. I made the choice to get my honour back, but now my uncle hates me. My father treats me like a war hero, but I lie awake every night, hating myself!
[The admittance of that last part makes him turn away from Wan again, too ashamed to make eye contact; those shining eyes seem to pierce right through him, into the very depths of his soul. Yet the fact that this spirit is willing to help him, instead of turning away in disgust like Iroh, makes him desperate to try and grasp at the help offered, hoping it will help pull him out of his seemingly endless cycle of mistakes and rage.]
You keep suggesting I need to find inner peace and make a decision, but how can I? Nothing makes sense any more!
