[He pauses for a moment in thought. Hoping he's not being weak.]

Let's sit down first.

[Katara swallows hard and moves first to shut the door behind them.]

Okay.

[Aang goes to seat himself at the table.]

Would it be okay if you told me... some of the things you know already? [So that none of his news can be repeats.]

[Katara moves to join him.]

I heard about the virus. I know that... [her face was almost pale] people have died.

[He gives a quiet nod, looking at the table.]

It's horrible. I couldn't stand facing... the people who were infected. Especially when... when they were people I know. [He glances up towards her.] Katara, one of the people who got infected... It's Robin. But he's not... The last I know, the other Robin is... He's watching over him.

[Katara looked down, her hands clenching into fists at her side.]

I see. That's terrible. I'm sorry...

"I don't think any of us could have stopped it," he said quietly. It was what he said to himself, too, over and over, to stave off his guilt. He had to believe that he had done everything he could to Robin. As Aang glanced towards Katara with still-weary eyes, his hands lay limp atop the table, and he proceeded to re-focus his gaze on the arrows painted on his hands. He did not let himself go on further yet. He had to give Katara time to process this news first, before he went into the worse one, even though he was unsure if there even could be enough time. Part of him just wanted to keep putting it off and avoid that which he had played a part in.

Katara nodded quietly. And after a long pause, spoke, "I'm sure you did your best."

"I did," and as he said it, he believed it. He even tried calling Dick by his real name. "Now we just have to... believe in those who are still there. That they can take care of each other and- and help him. Help all of them w-who are left." The other Robin was watching him. Mia was helping to work on a cure. Shikamaru and Masaomi were protecting as many other people as possible.

She didn't have anything to add to that. Her heart was heavy, and it hurt.

And he let some more silence pass before he closed his eyes, making himself go on, his guilt dripping into his voice. "But... but that's not all."

"What happened?"

"Well... Katara..." He struggled to push the words up his throat. "Moro got infected, too."

"Oh. Oh no."

"I'm sorry, Katara. Me and... Roku and Shikamaru and Silver... it took everything we had just to hold him down. I did it because... I thought we could help her, that we - that we could still reach her. She was a god. But, it was too... It wouldn't work." And now his hands slowly tightened. "They had to... to..." He can't end that sentence, with tears forming in his eyes.
