The silence from all of that, things he'd never known, draws out. It isn't the Fire Nation he'd known, not the one that lived in his memories, lived in Roku's memories. It was astonishing how quickly, how thoroughly it had become something else - its teeth lengthened, its sinews bound by false ideas for the pride of a few - then let loose at the jugular of an entire world.
He sighed.
"I hope the Fire Nation can...well, not go back. It can never go back. Nothing can. Time does not allow us such a luxury. But under him - with your guidance...it will become something wiser than it was."
He smiled.
"It was always brash, always eager. Hopefully those come back again. The Fire Nation built, more than anyone else. Saw problems and thought of solutions. You need some stubborn for that."
