I don't...hate Deerington. I hate the bad things in it. I hate seeing my friends die, or something evil coming and making it so I have to have small existential crises when I go to sleep. And you're right Korra. I should be at the Isles dealing with my feelings there than being here, without Eda and the friends that I made.

Oh yes, those worms. I fought them too. That was rough. But that's different from those mountain guys. The worms were literally going after prey to eat and that was it. The mountain men reveled in the misery this caused. If it weren't for Margot...they would have me watch them eat bits of my body until I died.

[Saying this, Luz found herself trembling, and she took a moment to close her eyes, swallowing a sob].

I don't like what I did. I'll still hear their yells and smell their burning flesh, even while they were making me hurt. But in that moment all I could think about is what they did to me, what they could do to other people. I couldn't let them go and do it all again.

[Luz looked at the staff, Eda's staff, then hugged it].

But I don't know if I could do that again.

Korra. I asked because I needed to know how you coped. I wouldn't have asked anyone else first.
