So that's it. My entire world... gone. My country, my people, everyone...

[A teenager in red and gold clothing slumps dejectedly onto the steps in Traverse Town's first district. A moogle carrying the communicator is hovering beside him.]

I'm sorry, kupo. For now, you'll have to make a new life here!

[Zuko looks up, showing his mismatched eyes; one side of his face is covered with a burn scar. His anger flares as his gaze fixes a little above the camera onto the moogle.] I didn't want a new life! How many times do I have to lose everything?!

[He moves to stand abruptly. Bad decision; the still-fresh wound in his midriff jolts and he has to sit back down, gritting his teeth in pain. The moogle flutters beside him, worried.]

Are you okay, kupo?!

...Yeah. [Zuko runs a hand through his hair, obviously agitated.] Sorry. Getting mad at you won't fix anything. [He accepts the proferred phone from the moogle and looks at it with a blank expression.] What are you giving me?

It's a communicator! Maybe you can contact your friends with it!

How--? [He's curious, even in spite of his situation. He presses a button experimentally-- and the feed ends.]

That's all right, I do understand.

But, should you need help, or information, I can do my best to provide it.

I just want to know how to get back to my world. Or... how to get my world back.

[He sighs.] But I guess if it was as simple as that, you guys would be home already.

Unfortunately, we don't know much about either. But there are many people working on finding a solution.

[He's still a little confused, but...] I'll help, too. I'll do whatever it takes.

I know you will. You seem like a good kid.

Aah, but I'm being rather rude, aren't I? I'm Setsuna.

[He shifts awkwardly; 'good kid' isn't a compliment he's used to hearing.]

I'm Zuko.
