I take a deep breath and let out a long and steady breath. I look up at the moon and feel Korra looking with me. It’s a beautiful full moon tonight, it lights up the garden, showing the beauty of the garden.

I can’t let myself get emotional right now. We still need to go in and act like everything’s fine.

“We can explain everything to our friends tonight in the room,” Korra reassures me. “I was dormant but I was by your side since you were young. I couldn’t say anything or talk to you… but I’ve always been here.”

Dabbing at my tears, careful not to ruin Nikki’s masterpiece. I laugh, “We can’t let her see us looking a mess.” I pull myself together and look at the water fountain.

Lifting my chin, I square my shoulders and steel my resolve to head in. That’s when I see it, with the moon shining so bright how did I miss it?
