  "take me to your safe place."
  "i can't put you in my heart..."
  "why not?"
  "cuz that means i love you!"
  "what's wrong with loving me, ty?"
  "we're both girls!"
  "so?"
  "...you're fine with that?"
  "as long as you are."
  '"zula, i don't think 11 year-olds should be talking like this..."
  "scared, are you?"
  "...yes."
  "...oh, okay, forget it, then."
  "n-no! i'll put you in my heart!"
  "why?"
  "cuz i admire and love you."
  "what do you admire and love about me?"
  "your honey gold eyes... how intimidating you are... and best of all..."
  "yeah?"
  "your bluebell flames."

  take it to heart, ty lee, i loved you.
  i trusted you.
  but you take that trust and chi-blocked the fuck out of it!

  i went crazy because of you!
  you were always there, your shadow danced at the corner of my eyes.

'"zula, let me help! god, you're bleeding like crazy."
"it's not that bad, lay off, freak!"
"...what?"
"i can take care of myself."
"i know that. but two years ago, i put you in my heart and locked you in, i threw away the key and swore that i'd care for you."
"you... what?"
"i can't break that promise, 'zula."
"...okay, fine. can you stop the bleeding?"
"of course. anything for you."

"'zula."
"don't call me that."
"please let me help!"
"go away!"
"no!"
"what do you want."
"to ask something."
"what."
"does... it hurt?"
"does what hurt?"
"the fact that he just broke up with you, without looking at you."
"you saw that...?"
"'zula, does it hurt?"
"yes!! yes, it hurts! of course it hurts! what if i did that to you!? what would you do!?"
"...smile."
"i-- what?"
"i'd smile."
"why?"
"cuz i had the chance to date you."
"...god, what is wrong with you?"
"you, cuz i love you too much!"
"i love you too..."

i tried my best to find that damn key!
but no, you threw it away and buried it.
now, i'm locked here, in your heart.
let me out before I burn it.

"there's only one thing worse,
than not being able to find happiness,
and that is having happiness
but throwing it away absent-mindedly
because you did not know that it was happiness
that would save you from yourself."

"you know, azula, i feel like you and ty lee are the living forms of yin and yang."
"what's that supposed to mean, mom?"
"yeah, what's that mean, mrs. kaguro?"
"you two are exact opposites."
"really?"
"mhm."
"that's cool!"
"so i've got a few words for you two; yin and yang, one can't live, with the other deceased. they work as one, thriving, loving and living. azula, live by the sun. ty lee, love by the moon."
"i got the sun!"
"i got the moon!"

i was wrong...
you didn't lock me in your heart to piss me off.
you did it to protect me, right?
i'm sorry, i didn't want to kill you... or mai... or anyone.
i can't blame anyone but myself.
and father.
give me a second chance.
i swear i'll control my flames...
my bluebell flames.

"for you, ty, okay?"
"mhm, you got this, 'zula!"
"thanks... i love you!"
"love ya too!"
