[Korra doesn't go out anymore. Since Naga returned to the Beach House, City!dead, Korra has resolved never to leave the polar bear dog's side, or to make her do anything she doesn't want to.
She's probably been fired from the Welcome Center at this point, but she doesn't care. Hasn't seen Chekov in longer than she can think of, doesn't care. Doesn't even go shopping anymore -- she hunts & fishes for their dinner, and now that she's dead, Naga doesn't need to eat anymore. It's amazing what a relief that is on the budget (and Korra hates herself for thinking that). She spends just enough time inside to feet the cats, and the rest of her time is outside with Naga. Naga no longer has any body warmth to share, but Korra still sleeps with her at night, so she has a thick quilt that she wraps around her.
Instead of the stupid nothings that used to occupy her time, Korra trains. She wakes up before dawn and doesn't sleep again until well after sunset. She runs through all her forms, pushing herself until she can hardly move and then some. And she spends endless hours meditating. She doesn't have any problems sitting still anymore, no matter how frustrated she gets.
She needs to access that state again. She needs that power. Naga died protecting her because she was weak. Korra refuses to let that happen again.
She's meditating on the beach, letting the sound of the waves wash away any extraneous thoughts. Naga is dozing a few feet away. She raises her head as Hei approaches.
She catches his scent on the wind and growls softly, and Korra immediately stops what she's doing.]

What is it?
[Then she sees.]
Hei.
