"We agreed from the start it was best for her not to reveal anything about the future, but — I didn't think she was hiding something like that! And! And! Now I know there was no point to even hiding anything at all, because Gokudera confirmed that we don't remember anything about these places when we go home!" How can Gokudera confirm that? A long story Zuko's too hysterical to tell. "So in the end there was no reason for withholding this knowledge in the first place! I'd been afraid it would affect my future if I knew too much, too early — I was afraid it'd fuck up something about all this time and space travel... But deciding not to know only affected my present! It only fucked up my judgment! I thought that if Azula wasn't trying to fight me, that whatever happened in the future, we must have built a truce — that that was enough to build a truce now... It was in her best interests not to tell me anything, though — of course she agreed not to divulge any details! How could I be so stupid?! Ugh!"

He'd not usually be so crass around Iroh, but hanging out with Gokudera the past half a year has worsened the prince's language, and he's entirely too overwhelmed to hear himself right now. He slaps himself in the face with a groan, keeping his hand pressed over his eye in frustration, both eyes pinched shut because seeing is overstimulating the more worked up he gets. He feels so blind, anyway.
