Mako hadn't been awake for five minutes before he stumbled barefoot and shirtless out of his room to discover the Avatar sitting in their kitchen. Eating his food. And his brother was nowhere to be found.

Korra and Mako fight to keep each other alive when a battle with an equalist goes disastrously wrong. Trapped and injured, the Avatar finds herself forced to deal with her duties to the world, her friends, and herself, whether she's ready for them or not.
