His heart stood stubbornly still. His pupils fixed and dilated. The monitor shrieking, indicating what she already knew.
He wasn't coming back this time.
She stroked his beard lovingly, admiring his paling flesh and cyan lips.
29 minutes had passed since she began CPR efforts on him; 23 had passed since a shockable rhythm displayed on the monitor next to her treatment table.
Gel glistened where the paddles had seared his flesh. The endotracheal tube between his parted lips a signal of her valiant efforts to oxygenate his dying body.
They had both wanted this so bad.
She turned off the screaming monitor.
Her hand lazily pulled one lead off his body. Then another. And another. Tracing his cool flesh.
They had both wanted this so bad. And this play session had yielded exactly what they had both wanted.
She kissed his icy lips one last time before pulling the blanket over his body, turning away from him and turning out the lights.

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.

to me, the funniest thing about “that’s rough buddy” isn’t the fact that sokka says something patently insane with zero context seemingly out of nowhere, or the fact that zuko clearly doesn’t know how to respond. it’s the completely incorrect use of the word “buddy.” zuko would obviously like to be friends with sokka, but sokka is not, in fact, his friend. this is the most time they’ve ever spent together, and it’s because zuko invited himself to tag along on sokka’s suicide mission. at this point in the episode, sokka still hates this guy, perhaps less than he did a week ago, but he still hates him enough that he didn’t bother forcing zuko to stay home, which means he still didn’t really care whether or not zuko lives or dies. which, considering that he had tried to kill zuko multiple times in the past, is not all that surprising. this entire episode is essentially just zuko forcing his friendship onto sokka while sokka is legitimately too depressed to care. so when zuko calls sokka “buddy,” there’s a spirit of dogged optimism characterizing that epithet, because in no possible realm would sokka consider zuko his buddy at this point in the episode. and that’s something we miss when noting the iconicness of this exchange, simply because, by the end of this episode, they are buddies, so in our minds looking back on these lines, the implication of friendship doesn’t feel out of place at all. and really, it isn’t out of place, but only because zuko’s tenacity and determination (in this instance, his determination to befriend sokka) has always hugely outweighed his ability to read the room.
