"Restraint is Sometimes Harder"

Haru POV
Before ep 6

Haru misses his father. His virtue. His caring. His strength. His father has been gone for five years, and still his absence can be felt like a gaping hole in his chest.

Sometimes, Haru sees the firebenders terrorizing his fellow villagers, and is sorely tempted to use his earthbending to beat them senseless. Not only would it teach them a lesson about pushing his family and friends around, but maybe they would take him away, and he could see his father again…

Then Haru thinks of his mother, who had sacrificed so much, all alone without him or his father to be there for her.

Haru balls up his fists and forces himself to walk away, wondering what his father would say.
