It’s been 10 years since the 100 Year War ended, meaning all of the terror was over for Zuko He worked hard, and he found his mother. She was happy. She ran away from his father. That was the best case scenario. His sister, Azula, is still under a state of mental unwell, being watched 24/7 by caretakers His father, well he rotted in a cell for 5 years before dropping dead. So why does Zuko still feel this pain? Why does he still wake up screaming, remembering what had happened. Remembering the burn, the suffering, the years of waiting, the anxiety, his sister losing her mind, his mother running away in the middle of the night and kissing young-Zuko’s head before she was gone. Why does he feel all of this when all has been resolved? Why is he scared he will be like his father with his own family? Why is he so shaky just thinking about it? Tonight was one of those nights. Waking up in a panic.
