Push and pull.
Her eyes are the only colour in the world tonight. She sees herself reflected in the pool as the old Fire Nation man offers her the dead body, and she knows what will happen. All of it. From the Avatar's gasp to the pulse in Katara's veins to Sokka's cry of pain.
He would tell her that it's not her responsibility, that she doesn't have to do this, but she made the bargain years ago when she chose to live.
It goes. It comes back. You take. You repay.
Push and pull and the moon is shining.
