-1Jet would have been perfectly content to die right then, but he couldn't
"I'll be fine Katara…"
Jet had never thought of himself as a liar. A betrayer yes, a coward sometimes, but lying? He was more of the painfully honest type. But now that he had time to think about it… he was the worst liar he knew. When he had told Katara Sokka was out walking when he had ordered Sokka be constrained. When he had told her everything was ok, when he was about to kill over 300 innocent people. When he had told her he'd be fine…
"He's lying…"
They were right, he was a liar.
If he weren't already unconscious his eyes would of widened in comprehension. All his life he had been in his own little world.
Kill the Fire bender's
I'm right, your wrong
I'm the best
I'm not a liar… I'm not a betrayer… Katara understand.
How could he even hope she would understand? There was nothing to understand! He thought that he'd changed. When he helped Aang and fought along side him, when he smiled a Katara with real caring, when he even cared at all. But because of that one last lie, he hadn't changed at all. He had taken one step forward and 5 steps back. He couldn't escape the real Jet, the cold Jet, the fighting Jet.
Jet
Yes that was his name, but he had lost everything it stood for.
Spontaneous, bravery, danger, laughing. That what his name meant when it was given.
Death, betrayal, hatred, sorrow. That's what it was now. And now he was going to die, without ever really changing. It wasn't what he deserved, not even having a chance to say goodbye to his comrades, to his family, to her…
All his life he had never been able to say goodbye. Well he was saying it now.
Goodbye Longshot. Tell Smellerbee not to cry and tell her how you really feel. Goodbye mom. I'm sorry I never lived up to what you wanted. Goodbye father. I guess all your teachings ended in vain. Goodbye… Katara. I want you to know that I like you, I really do but you need to know that I'm not coming back. I lied to you again. The last lie of Jet.

I'm not going to lie to her. I'm fed up with lying, fed up with feeling sorry for myself. I am not gunna die here. I am not going to lie to her anymore! I may never see her again, No I never will see her again, but its only what she deserves that I do this for. I'm going to give her the last thing I can. I'm not going to lie to her. Not here, not again. I'm not going to die!

Jet opened his eyes.
