I haven't felt like this in a while.

Now if I had a chance to return home, I really don’t know that I would take it.

And what about your friends here? Wouldn't you rather have then all be safe back in their homelands. [ Safe is relative... but Aang figures most places can't be as bad as this city. ]

[Two worlds that can only be saved by the sacrifice of one person. ]
But, I can’t do anything about it anymore. There is some one here that would do anything to prevent me from returning and I don’t want anything to happen to him.
I have to give that wish up.
[Still he does sound sad about it. The fate of all those people back at home does bother him a great deal. ]
However, I don’t see why anyone else who would like to leave the City shouldn’t be allowed to do so. If they could return, I would be very happy for them.

I realized after coming here that my knowledge of the universe is actually pretty small. [ Not what he originally thought. ] There are worlds that I could have never imagined. Worlds that are so different from my own planet. [ He is okay with this too. ]
You said you have to give up that wish, so that means that at one point you did want to go home, right? Did you ever come close to finding a way back. [ Aang's not judging him for wanting to stay for someone, he's just curious about what others may have tried. ]

I tried a lot of things in my attempts to escape. I very nearly was able to break through the barrier by causing it to resonate or at least the barrier made me think I was about to get through before it decided to retaliate against me.
Then there was the attempt to use the fountain to escape. A small group of us thought that if we could freeze the fountain we might be able to use it as a portal to return home. Since so many strange things occur at the fountain and so many people appear there when they arrive in the City. But, instead of sending us to a different world the frozen shards of the fountain escaped and caused the people who touched them to experience an alternate false world. That only caused a lot of trouble as everyone had to escape the illusions and return the frozen pieces to the fountain.

Any idea what these barriers are made of? Something magical from the sounds of it. [ Aang wonders how and if his bending could help. ] But I don't know anything about magic. Unless this place has a spirit world...

The barrier always seemed to be technologically based to me, but that doesn't mean they don't have a magical component to them as well.
The City has an Underworld where all of the technology that runs this place is supposed to be kept, but I have been told it it difficult to get there. That whole area is like a maze whose walls move around just to make things more difficult. Of course there are monsters there as well.

My world doesn't even have most of the technology this place does, at least not during the time I came from. Most of it is a mystery to me. [ He really needs to get Toph to teach him metalbending. ]
Has anyone in the city been to the Underworld? [ He's got nothing, because it doesn't sound anything like the Spirit World. ]

The technology from my world is a good deal more advanced than the majority of the items that can be found in the City, but even I don't understand how this place really functions.
Some people live in the easier to access parts, so yes. People do go down there all of the time. It is a little on the seedy side, I would be careful if you decided to try it.
If you mean has anyone been down to see the clock? I knew several people who had, I suppose there are still some people here who have seen it, but I was never able to find my way down to it.

I'll just have to be especially careful.
