Ty Lee, you have your boyfriend. You have... that girl who's name I forget. You have lots of people. If our places were switched, and I was the one who was "breaking up with you"... you would get over it.

I won't.

Not caring about anyone is easier. It's less... messy. It'll allow me to do my job without having to worry about having a particularly bad day and not being able to bend lightning when the Avatar shows up and needs to be killed.

I could lock you up and force you to stay, but I... it would change something; I'm not sure what. And I'm not sure why it matters to me, but it does.

I'd prefer not to care at all.
