[ Mako's face doesn't get any lighter. He almost lost Bolin a couple times, and those times killed him inside a little bit. ] I... can't imagine. What that's like. What I'd do if Bo were, uh.
[ He can't even make himself say the words, biting down hard on the rest of them. Mako, by contrast, is still closed. Still trying his hardest to survive without the help of anybody else, pretty sure that if he lets himself rely on people he will be disappointed, because he's used to being disappointed. He knows how to handle that. He doesn't know how to handle getting his hopes up. Not anymore. ]
I joke about Bolin getting himself killed but if he ever actually does I'll probably go the spirit world and drag him right back.
