It was Wan’s twin sister Yan who finally approached him. For a brief moment, he wondered if the girl approaching him was the same girl he had known for most of his life, the same face that he had seen over the years celebrating holidays with the Yuns, the same lips he had stolen an awkward kiss from on his thirteenth birthday.
“Wan always said that the Fire Nation had abandoned this place,” she began. “But he wouldn’t leave. Said that it just made his duty more important. I told him it was dangerous. Mother told him it would get him killed. Begged him to find another job. Maybe a peacekeeper in Omashu, or another Earth Kingdom city.”
Silence was his only answer.
“Xian...” She hesitated. “I... I know it’s not your fault.”
“Save it,” he responded curtly.
She blinked, but made no other reaction. “I don’t think you should come around anymore. Things... things are difficult.”
He looked over at her. Knowing that her words had been inevitable took none of the sting out of them. “There’s... a pension for magistrates who-,” he swallowed hard. “Who fall in the line of duty. You can stop by-”
“No,” she said, “That won’t be necessary. Good bye... Magistrate Hu.”
She turned away without another word, leaving Xian standing alone. Slowly, realization began to sink in; today, he was saying good bye to more than one friend.
“You were right, Wan,” he murmured. “We’ve been abandoned.”
