Katara lay in bed, completely disoriented with no recollection of the past few days. She remembered her closest friends, and some sort of fight, but everything remained a blur. She knew she was in a relationship with Aang but something had happened with Zuko. Anytime she thought of him, a flush of red crept into her cheeks, for reasons she just could not remember.
Aang had visited her and told her everything was going to be okay, but he seemed fidgety, hesitant, and couldn't look her straight in the eye. He said that there had been a bad fight with some villains and she had taken a bad hit. He assured her that he'd be back to take care of her but he had to take care of some Avatar issues first. There was a general feeling of uneasiness that poured of out of him and it gave Katara a sense of wrongdoing. Katara attempted sitting up, to ask him what was wrong, but he left before she could really be sure he was even there. Aang had left the infirmary to go save the world, but he failed to realize that he also left Katara's world in ruins, ready to collapse.
Katara didn't know what was going on but she knew it involved Zuko somehow. Unfortunately, she could not recall a single event, and she yearned for someone, anyone, to fill in the gaps of her cloudy memory. Suddenly, as if answering her unspoken plea, a shadow appeared behind the curtains, and honey amber eyes peeped in. While Aang was off saving the world, Zuko decided it would be nice to save Katara from her own world.
