What happened? Are we dead?
No, we're okay, but we're in the Spirit World. All the energy from your weapon tore open a new portal and blasted us in here.
Why would you save my life? After everything I did to you.
I guess I see a lot of myself in you.
We are nothing alike.
Yes, we are. We're both fierce and determined to succeed, sometimes without thinking things through.
This wasn't how I wanted things to end. If you had all just surrendered, none of this would've happened.
You brought this on yourself. Messing with the spirit vines, acting like a dictator over your people; you had to know what you were doing wasn't right.
I was trying to help my people. Su turned her back on the Earth Kingdom. You were gone. I had to do something.
I think I get it now.
You don't understand anything about me.
I do. Su told me how she took you in when you were younger. It must have been so hard being an orphan.
Don't pretend you know what it felt like. The Avatar is adored by millions! I was cast aside by my own parents, like I meant nothing to them! How could I just stand by and watch the same thing happen to my nation when it needed someone to guide it?
You wanted to create a place where you and your people would never be vulnerable again. I may not have been an orphan, but believe me, I understand what it feels like to be afraid. After I was poisoned, I would've done anything to feel in control.
