I'm sorry, Korra! I just wanted to see if there was anyway I could help. I'm just making things worse, aren't I? [Of course she was. She was good at that, sometimes. And this was clearly one of those times.]
[And now Korra feels like she's kicked a turtleduck. Great.]
It's fine. [She stands up, ignoring a voice in the back of her mind that whispers Quitter. Her bending is gone for good. That's just a fact. Anything that tries to tell her otherwise is just messing with her head.] It's just something I need to learn to live with.
But.... [Tohru doesn't want to just give up. But that seems rude to push Korra, especially when it's a sensitive topic for her.]
I could try to help with that. There are plenty of other things you can do. And they're very impressive. [And she'll look for a way. Even if she has to do it alone.]
[She doesn't understand. Of course she doesn't understand. Nobody does. It's not about how many things she can do or how impressive they are. She could be able to juggle five plates on her toes while standing on her hands but it wouldn't be the same.]

They can''t help.
[Stop poking at open wounds, Tohru, even though you don't mean to.]
