    Toph nodded silently, his energy seemingly drained, as he followed Zuko.


    The two brothers drove to the outskirts.


    The sky was already getting dark. The colors of sunset gradually faded, leaving behind a deep indigo


    evening sky.


    Zuko set up the camping tent and called Toph over for dinner.


    The outskirts were calm, and soon, the night sky sparkled with countless stars.


    Toph paused, realizing it was just the two of them. It felt like they were back in their childhood.


    In their youth, they would enjoy carefree moments together in a private garden within Irwin Manor, often


    camping there. Back then, the night sky had been filled with stars and abundant fireflies.

    Toph’s mood gradually improved, and he appeared to be smiling.


    Zuko said gently, “Toph, it’s just us now. I want to ask you something honestly.”


    “Yeah?”


    “Can you and Renee still make it work?”


    Toph hesitated, his expression changing once more. His voice quivered as he replied, “Zuko, I…”


    Seeing him like this, Zuko understood everything. “If it’s not working out, it’s best to cut your losses.


    Even though there’s an investment already made, it’s better than continually trying to fill a never-ending


    hole.”


    Toph understood the logic but couldn’t bring himself to act on it. “If it were Pammy, would you find it as


    easy to say the same thing?”


    “That ‘if’ doesn’t exist in the first ce,” Zuko stated firmly, looking at him. “Because Pammy hasn’t


    changed!”


    Toph fell silent for a moment. “I can’t forget the first time I saw Renee at the Thompsons… Melvin told


    us she was Pammy, and she timidly served us tea. Her voice was soft and gentle… but why has she


    changed so much now?”


    Zuko did not know how to answer his question. After a moment, he replied, “People change.”


    “Why did it have to be her who changed?” Toph covered his face in pain. “Zuko, I’m actually a little


    scared of her… I’ve been having nightmarestely. I dream that she’s saying I’m no good, that Ick


    ambition, and that she wants me topete with you for the Hamerton Group. I can’t take it

    Zuko gently patted the back of his head.


    When Toph cried as a child, Zuko used tofort him that way, and then he would stop crying. Back


    then, Zuko believed he was invincible and couldfort his little brother forever.


    Now, he felt powerless in the face of his brother’s pain. “Toph, if you can make a firm decision, our


    whole family will stand by your side.”


    Toph gazed up at him with a look of helplessness Zuko had never witnessed before. It was like


    watching someone drowning, desperately reaching for theirst hope.


    “Really?”


    “Really.” Zuko nodded firmly. “Our entire family, and one more person… She’ll also support you


    unconditionally.”


    Was he talking about Renee?


    Zuko smiled. “Get some rest. I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow.”


    –


    Toph tossed and turned all night. The next morning, he woke up groggily, feeling like he was walking on


    cotton.


    Zuko drove him back to the city, and he fell asleep in the car.


    When the car suddenly stopped, Toph’s eyes snapped open. He realized that the ce Zuko had


    mentioned was none other than the building where Arya’s studio was located!
