So that's it. My entire world... gone. My country, my people, everyone...

[A teenager in red and gold clothing slumps dejectedly onto the steps in Traverse Town's first district. A moogle carrying the communicator is hovering beside him.]

I'm sorry, kupo. For now, you'll have to make a new life here!

[Zuko looks up, showing his mismatched eyes;

[Blue hair and blue eyes; not always a normal combination, but she's smiling sympathetically.]

I'll help as much as I can. Please try to calm down so you can decide what to do with a clear head. Do you have questions?

A weapon...

[But if bending can't defeat them, what use would a weapon be?]

You mean like a sword, or something different?

[Video]

[innerflow]

I'm not sure exactly. Everything I've heard about it has been very vague. I think we should keep looking for other methods while we search for whatever this weapon might be.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

Yeah. Putting all our hopes in a weapon we know nothing about won't get us anywhere... Maybe there's another way.

[Video]

[innerflow]

I agree. And until we can find one or the other, I'll keep fighting the Heartless the best I can right now.

[restorehonour]

Fighting? But you just said back home you were training to be a doctor.

[Either that was a lie, or there's something she isn't saying...]

Look, if you can't fight, leave it to the people who can. It's safer for you that way.

Everyone here needs to do their best. I'd be useless to everyone if I didn't at least try to defend myself and protect the people here.

[It's true she's said too much. But plenty of people who aren't magical girls could say the same.]

[Video]

[restorehonour]

If you're a doctor, helping people out when they're hurt is more than enough. Just because you're not on the front lines doesn't make you useless.

You're very reassuring. [She says nothing about standing down.] If you ever have need of medical assistance, please let me know. If I'm close enough to be of help to you, I'll come right away.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

[Reassuring? That's a new one by him. He's usually the pessimist who complains a lot.] It's just stupid to throw your life away if you're not a fighter, that's all.

I'll keep the offer in mind. If you ever get into trouble with the Heartless, let me know. I can fight them off. --Oh, and uh, I guess I should introduce myself too. I'm Zuko.

[Video]

[innerflow]

Please excuse me; I've been rude not to introduce myself. I'm Mizuno Ami, and I'm pleased to meet you.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

Nice to meet you too. [He decides he likes Ami, even if what she said before was a little strange. Everyone has their secrets, and otherwise she seems trustworthy.] Be careful out there.

[Video]

[innerflow]

You, too. Your friends will need you to be strong for them.

[Video]

[restorehonour]

You don't have to worry about that.

[He's learned the hard way how to be strong, even when things are at their worst. Sometimes it's the only way to keep going.]

[innerflow]

They're lucky to have you on their side.
