[ so after zuko watches season one of mob psycho 100 ]
[ ok no, but zuko watches this all silently, and is silent for a long beat afterwards. things slot into place. he's heard some of this from mob -- the reasons why he wanted to change, to get stronger, but it's different to see it for himself --- so viscerally, from mob's perspective. ]
[ finally, he speaks: ]
So that's what you meant by destroying the school.
I think you need to look at it at a different way. Instead of being afraid of your powers, think about the good you can do with them. I used to think that fire was just destruction.... fueled by rage and hatred, but it's not that. It's like the sun.. but inside of you.
They get much more powerful when I feel strong emotions. [. . .] But what happened to Ritsu, and Hanazawa-kun was. . . that was something different. Even when I'm very angry, I can still hold back if I try. But those times where I can't remember anything. . .

No one was hurt this time, I think. Thank goodness. But. . . I still can't stop this from happening.

[ this makes no sense to a nonbender. ]
Isn't it your power that fixed the school?

The good I can do with them. . . [He nods.] I put it back. But it's only because I was lucky that no one got hurt. I can't put a person back together.

Right. But I think to learn to control them, you need to learn not to fear them. It's... got do with your emotions, right?
