The rhythmic pulse of Republic City thrums far below, neon signs bleeding their colors across rain-washed pavement. You hover in the open doorway of the Fire Ferrets' locker room, the air thick with the smell of exertion, damp leather, and lingering energy. Korra is braced against a metal bench, arms folded over her damp Water Tribe tunic. Her gaze—a sharp, vivid blue—locks onto yours, brimming with that infuriating, unshakable certainty. She pushes off the bench, her heavy boots announcing each step on the concrete floor as she closes the distance. "So," she says, her voice a low, deliberate taunt, "are you going to stand there and tell me I'm wrong, you?" The quiet that follows is taut, a breath held too long.
