I understand why they'd think that way. I know the idea of never going home bothers me... but I can still accept the people I met. They can still be important, that's how it feels.
[ There's a pause in the communication instead of the rapt attention. It's not a long one, but she's met Eddie. That's something a little difficult to think about, even if it's confusing. Maybe it's not that strange - with how much time this place made up. Pulling someone who died or was known to be dead? ]
[ A part of her wonders if it means it's possible she might her grandfather one day or even Avatar Wan. She doesn't let herself think about it, because Dustin matters in the moment. "I'm sorry," doesn't feel right. ]
I'm happy you can have more time with him here, then. I'm sure you'll make the most of it.
I don't know. A little? I miss my family and Korra and Kai... But I guess I'm more worried about what my being here means? I can't help my people from here and there are so many new airbenders now, dad can't handle them all alone.
Yeah, it's good to know Eddie's still at his best somewhere.
He didn't deserve it. Any of it.
I am.
I get that. I miss my mom sometimes. My friends. The party. It's not the same without them and sure I have Steve and Eddie and some new pals like you, but .... it's complicated. No one person can replace another.
Do you think time keeps moving without us? Or maybe everything continues in the same trajectory, whether we're there or not.

It's complicated. Everyone brings something unique and we all had important things to do we can't here. Even if it's nice to learn about new things and other people...
I don't know. Maybe? Wouldn't it just be like if we died...? Maybe to them we're just missing.

And all that matters is how you feel about it.

Other people can have opinions, but your take on it and what you choose to do with it is what's important.
I'm in the same boat as you. I don't see any reason to disregard what goes on here, but maybe that's because people I've lost back home are here.

As twisted as it is, I have this place to thank for that.
Does it bother you that you're the only one from your world?
