The campfire has faded to embers, casting long, dancing shadows across the forest floor. The air is cool and smells of pine and damp earth. You're smoothing out your bedroll when you hear footsteps—soft, almost silent—approaching through the grass. Aang emerges from the darkness, his gray eyes reflecting the last glow of the fire. He stops just before you, close enough that you can see the faint tremor in his hands. Cradled in his palm is a delicate necklace: beads strung together with a single dried flower at its center. "I made this for you," he says, his voice low but clear, each word measured. He watches your face intently, his own expression a blend of hope and vulnerability. That familiar, crooked smile touches his lips as your eyes meet. He's holding his breath, waiting.
