The bombings were becoming more distant, but it was Mako that calmed her down. When she saw him she instantly nodded as soon as his hands were on his shoulder. He was okay.

But she wasn't, and that was starting to sink in with just how calm his voice was.

"Don't, don't leave me. Okay?" Him being gone again while she was like this didn't feel like something she wanted. Korra wanted to muscle through it the way she had always done, but everything was different now.

Ever since she was shot, it felt like everything changed and Mako was the only anchor she had to hold on to. And she did just that, grabbing his arm as she lied back down and taking her eyes off his.
