It felt like his brain shorted out. This rattled him more than the death he witnessed.
"What do you mean, death's not permanent?" He stopped in his tracks, ice showering from his skates. "Death has to be permanent. If I die, I have to stay dead. They're... it's... they're going to kill babies if they keep bringing me back!"
Yes, he said that like it made sense. The moment his heart stopped, his next life, a little Water Tribe baby, was going to take its first breath. Bringing this incarnation of him back... they would rip the soul from that infant. They would unnaturally stall the Avatar cycle. They would be using one of the most fundamental building blocks of the world like a yo-yo. THE AVATAR IS NOT A YO-YO.
