Yeah. I wonder where he got a crazy idea like that. That he had to end or be evil.

[He says that with some slight bitterness. But listening to Roku's words... it's really weird. Like he's talking to a completely different man.

Could the years and his life as a spirit change him so much? ...Would it do the same as him? There's a bit more hesitant friendliness in his voice as he goes on.]

I'm... I'm glad you have faith, Roku. Once we talked things out and he got to rest at his uncle's, he really felt was like his old self again. The old self who was my friend, that is. And he thinks that... reconnecting with his mom's side of the family is gonna help him be a better Fire Lord.
