Lina pursed her lips and did not say anything, leaning gently against Zuko's shoulder. Images of the past when she was with Renee would always flash through her mind. It now seemed like those were events from a past life.

Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Lina had been quite sentimental lately. Her eyes were slightly moist at the moment.

"I know she's akin to your sister, and you can't bear to be harsh," Zuko said. "But Toph is my brother, and I've been protecting him since childhood. This time won't be any different!"

His words were resolute, not wavering even a bit despite Lina's sadness.
