Summary
Shaking hands unfolded the letter, her eyes falling upon the lovingly written words. Words, so filled with hope for a dream that had been abruptly, violently cut off before it could have had a chance to become reality.
Wanda pressed her lips tightly together as the nothingness slowly made place for an overwhelming wave of grief. It had no place to go, so it brewed inside of her, making her gasp for breath, pushing her to her knees, putting its claws into her mind, taking hold and-
A near silent sound broke through her suffering and the chaos inside of her dimmed down and snuffed out.

Summary
Zuko scoffed. “As always, I am the author of my own unhappiness.”
Sokka hummed. “Years ago, when it was just us travelling together, we came across this fortune teller. I didn’t believe any of that mumbo-jumbo. But then she said that my life would be full of struggle and anguish, most of it self-inflicted.”
It suited Zuko’s life extraordinarily well, he felt. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m the only person in the Fire Nation who has a vision of what it takes for this country to get better.”
Sokka turned to face him, but Zuko looked resolutely forwards. “That can’t be true.”
Zuko turns twenty-five. In spite of his best efforts, the Fire Nation seems to lurch from crisis to crisis. The firebenders have lost their flame, and the situation with the former colonies is only worsening. All the while, he's ill, lonely, and consumed by work.
And on the other side of the country, Sokka has just moved in with one Master Piandao.

Summary
Zuko and most of the Gaang are oblivious, Toph is having a blast, and Iroh is just enjoying the whole situation. Or, how the Fire Nation officials gave up on calling Iroh anything other than "Uncle".
