Book 16: Drained [Voice/Action]
[Voice]
[It had been easy enough to assume that Sokka had still been kidnapped - that he'd be back any day. It was worrying, but there was still the assurance of his eventual return. Except that eventually, his room was checked. And found empty. There wasn't even a sign of Foo Foo Cuddlypoops. It was hard to believe - when Aang had first gotten to Luceti, he had gotten used to Sokka being the man with the answers. And also a beard. He was like a big figure of the town. And now he was gone. Katara wasn't in a state to announce it herself, so Aang eventually did it. Making it quick and to the point.]
Hi everyone. This is Aang. I'm sorry to tell you all this, but Sokka has gone back home. I know we're all gonna miss him. I already do. But at least at home... the last time I saw him there, he was happy.
[Action]
[Aang spends some time over by the statue of Sokka's head located House 56, studying the image of his best friend. He tries to meditate and tries to imagine the inspiring words that Sokka would usually say. Because he's still afraid of being around other people. And right now, the people dear to him may need him more than ever.]

Let us just hope that good things are awaiting him upon return.
[Really, that is all that matters.]
Coping.
[voice]
R-right. Coping... that's the word. [He admits with a little weariness.]
[voice]
[There is a hint of warmth in his voice.]
Please try to remind yourself of that, yes? That he will be happy to be back and that he will be surrounded by his loved ones. That he will not be alone.
[voice]
[But there's still cause for worry - for those of them still trapped in this world. That they could end up alone. And that Katara... could already be feeling alone without her brother.]
