At Southeast Aciatic…

Lina, unable to sleep, tossed and turned in bed. She considered making a phone call to find out what was going on. The image of Zuko and Dave locking eyes replayed in her mind, causing her to burst into laughter.

“Lina, are you awake?”

Lina hesitated for a moment before deciding to open the door.

Gia looked into her eyes and gave a weak smile. “Lina, can we have a proper talk?”
