[Filtered from Sveta & Howie]

Before I came here, the Avatar - my friend - was faced with the problem of wanting a nonviolent solution to a violent conflict. He was raised to believe that all life was sacred, and wanted to find another way to stop it, even though ending the threat permanently would restore peace and end a war that had.

I thought he was being naive. That violence was the only way to stop what was happening. But he found a solution that didn't end in murder while still eliminating the threat.

Obviously I don't know Howie or Sveta as well as I know my friend. But maybe that can work here, too.

... Does anyone need any assistance with what's going on?

[Private to Iroh]

Are you alright?

None of us are asking you to stop caring about your brothers and sisters.

You are by suggesting I should have "died with honor" rather than fought without caring about it - and left them to die in the dirt by doing it.

You all are every time you sneer at me for being an Inmate and tell me that I'm broken, that I need to be healed of taking any chance I could to free them from their suffering.

Who's been telling you that?

Pick a warden. You. Howie. Cage. Fordring.

None of you want to believe that any Inmate could have lived through anything worse than you and done what was right. You'd rather blindly trust the Admiral and work to break us down to suit you better. After all, he's paying you.

You might not be as bad as some of the other people here, but that doesn't mean everything you did was right. Believe me, I get how hard that is to hear, and it's not something you can accept over night, but it's true.

It doesn't mean anything I did was wrong. Look at Sveta. She cursed a city full of innocents to die and came here as a warden - and now she's betrayed the Light and is doing it again, to people she's meant to protect.

The Admiral's word means nothing.

Then why are any of us here?

You, because you've sold yourself for the privilege. Me - because the world loves its jokes.

Some joke.

As cruel as the rest of them.

If it is a mistake, I hope it gets corrected.
