Why would it upset me? [ there's a tone of incredulity in rictor's voice. ] Oh, wait. That's right. You wouldn't understand because you have no concept of what it feels like to only want to be with one person.
When I was not in your dimension, you were with others. How is this different? [a beat, heatedly:] And you also wish to be with Rahne.
Rahne is different. I thought she was pregnant with my -- [ hhurghh. ] That's not the point.
[ the camera starts to get unsteady, trembling a little at first, then more as rictor continues to raise his voice. ]
This isn't about me and her. It's about us, or if there even is an us at all --
Of course there is an- [and then, when the shaking becomes too intense to ignore-] Rictor? Julio!

There's also Firebending, Waterbending, and Airbending.
