Masuto had never experienced a loss in his family before, so he only knew so much about what his new friend must have been going through. He wanted to rush outside and help her through this, but he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do or not. He knew about disappearances, since his father one day just left, but he never faced a death, where he could go back and see the cold, unmoving, and lifeless body of anyone dear to him. He took a moment to embrace that feeling and only assumed that it was the same as Zenji was feeling, but he still wasn't sure.

Although he noticed Mizuki's attempt in lightening the mood, it didn't work all that well and didn't really changer much of anything. He nodded to her and looked out the door before returning to the two people in front of him. "Well, thanks for that, but I don't really think that celebrating is something we should do now. A lot of things seems to be happening, and we should all get ready for the trip."

"Mom... Do you feel it too?" Aki looked at her mother and was given a nod, winds of change blowing through the house. It took her a minute to compose herself before speaking up, and if there wasn't so much on her mind she might have responded differently. "Yes Aki, something is different. I don't know what it is yet, but we'll look in to it... one they go..." She was still emotional about it and didn't want her son to leave. Aki saw this and was planning to halt her adventures for now to stay back with her mom and explore this odd feeling that they had. It was out of place and odd around everything. They had a small spiritual connection, but it wasn't that much and they wished some more air benders were still alive so they could help with this feeling.
