Yeah. That's a better way of thinking of things. I - I'll stick to that. [Part of becoming the Avatar for Aang had been learning to look past what's directly in front of him to see the bigger picture, the entire world that was suffering from this war. But here? The bigger picture was painful to think of when he didn't have the means to help it. So he'd settle for keeping his mind and his priorities in the present here - after all, with how unpredicably people come and go in this world, the present is the only reliable time.]
