The scene was chaotic, with Azula in the midst of a meltdown, tears streaming down her face as she screamed and flailed against the restraining ropes. She emitted blue flames with each angry breath, but there was something more to her outburst than just the thought of being defeated. There was a sense of deeper anguish and frustration.

Zuko, her brother, and a waterbender stood a few feet away, watching her with a mixture of concern and unease. They could see not just anger, but also a vulnerability in her broken state.

Zuko, despite his complicated relationship with his sister, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her. He could see the raw pain and distress in her actions, beneath the usual facade of cruelty and anger.

The waterbender beside him, though wary of Azula's volatile state, also seemed to sense the underlying turmoil within her. A mix of pity and understanding played across their face as they observed the broken and weeping young woman.
