It's weird how it seems to always get randomly warm this time of year. On the other hand, I don't have to wear shoes and it's awesome.

This'll be my third winter in the City, if I'm counting right. Guess that means I'm 15, or will be sometime soon. [A pause.] Is there a way for me to be a legal adult or whatever before I'm 18, here?

So you mean to say that your society lacked a single ruler, prior to his attempt?

What a curious possibility!

Yeah. The four nations were always separate, and they need to stay separate, to keep the balance. That's what the Avatar cycle is for, keeping the balance.

Well, balance expresses itself in various ways, and then further complicates itself through the cyclical nature of time.

Though even if certain aspects of Alternia were in...their own form of balance, I don't suppose that could be said overall. Otherwise, my own psoition would serve as a sort of fulcrum to the hemospectrum, despite its rarity.

The whole purpose of the Avatar cycle is to keep the world in balance. The Avatar is the only person who can master all types of 'bending. When one dies, the next Avatar incarnation is in the next nation of the cycle, which is why it's important for there to be all four nations.

So then, this Ozai acted in disrespect to the Avatar, in an attempt to prevent their advent?

Something like that, yeah.

It's curious to hear of a world that vies for balance rather than dominance. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, given the general lessening in such impulses I've recognized in humans, but it does sound like a pleasant aspiration.

I guess peace would get boring after awhile, but after the Fire Nation being everywhere and trying to take stuff over for almost a hundred years, it's nice.

Oh, I certainly wouldn't demerit the worth of such an establishment! It's...simply very different than the foundation of any society I'm accustomed to.

Though I suppose the City is far more peaceful, by comparison.

Yeah, I get you.

[Hmmmmmmm.]

It is, but it's not. All at the same time.

A difference in the nature of the problems which advent here, I take it?

Pretty much!

It can be difficult adjusting to such a divergent culture from what one is accustomed to. I can attest to that personally.

It took me awhile, but I was lucky to meet Lyra on the first day. If it wasn't for her, I probably would be living in the park or something.

Would you be comfortable, living in such primitive means?

Stayed in worse, back home.

You didn't feel the Metahuman Apartment Complex would serve your needs?

Met Lyra before I even got there, heh. Our base is way cooler, at any rate!

I've never been particularly fond of it, anyway. The location can be too easily scrutinized by one's enemies, I'm far more satisfied to share the same residence with six others among out compatriots than for us to be so separated.

Wow. You're..lucky to have that many friends here.

[SIGH DEPRESSED. Her friends from home never stay..]

I don't know what I'd do without them, really. [ especially since so many of them are dead ]

I know what you mean. I'd've been totally screwed without Lyra around that first day.

It's safe to conclude that we are profoundly fortunate for the individuals we have been allowed to know here.

Yeah, definitely.

Still, I do regret on your account that you weren't able to keep any of the acquaintances from your native timeline.
