When Mako finished reading Korra's letter, all he could do was cry. Take care of our daughter. She thought Kita would have lived. Korra had no idea that Kita was going to die with her. Now all Mako has is a letter from his dead girlfriend telling him to take care of their dead daughter. How was this supposed to make him stronger? He didn't have his girlfriend or his baby. He had nothing. What was supposed to make him stronger?
The next day Mako sought out Asami to tell her about the letter. When he found her in her bedroom again, she could see that something was troubling him. Something was in the letter. Korra had left something in her letter that had upset Mako. What did she leave him?
"Mako, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Asami asked.
"Korra told me to take care of Kita. That was in the letter. She had no idea that Kita would die with her that day. Korra thought she was leaving me and Kita, but really she and Kita were leaving me," Mako said.
"Mako, Korra had no way of knowing if she was going to die that day. Let alone the baby," Asami replied.
"You're right. She couldn't have known. There was no way that she could. She just honestly didn't know."
"If ever need anything, call me. You just call me, and I'll be there to help. Anytime and any day. Just call me, and I'll be there for you. Got it?" Asami said. She wanted to help Mako through this hard time in his life. That's what Korra would have wanted.
"I know. Thank you. I know things didn't really work out between us, but still, you've been a great friend to me and Korra. You really have. Thanks. I should get going. See ya later." Mako started to get up, but he was grabbed and taken back down.
"Mako, we're both single and we make such a good couple. I still love you! I never stopped even when you did. Let's make something happen," Asami said trying to get Mako to kiss her.
"Asami….stop. Asami! Are you crazy? My girlfriend just died with our baby, and I just read her letter to me telling me to take care of the baby. What makes you think I want to start dating again right now? I'm not ready! And I don't love you. I lost those feelings a long time ago because I realized that Korra and I were meant for each other. And here you are trying to hook up with me when you know that last time I had sex my girlfriend, who I still love and cherish, got pregnant and died," said Mako before Asami could get his shirt off.
"Why did you leave me for her? I'm older, prettier, and I know what you've been through. I lost my mom when I was young just like you. We had such a good connection," Asami pleaded. "I love you!"
"Well, I don't. Korra was so much more beautiful than you because her heart was so big. Even when she knew that she could lose her bending, something that marked her as the Avatar, she stayed and fought. She knows what it's like to be alone. Bolin and I were alone for a long time after our parents died, and Korra was locked away in a compound her most of her life with no friends or connections to the rest of the world. Asami, you'll find someone because I know you and I know that someone is out there for you. Just wait."
