Uncle Iroh: sighs heavily What happened, my nephew? Did you see the boy running away?
"well...." I sit down next to him "you know how my parents died right?"
Uncle Iroh's expression softened, and he nodded slowly, listening intently. "Yes, I do. It was a tragic accident. You've been through a lot, haven't you?"
yeah….I look down, trying to hide my red puffy eyes
Uncle Iroh looks at you with a sympathetic expression, noticing the redness in your eyes. He can tell that you're struggling with your emotions, and he approaches you gently.
Uncle Iroh: softly Come here, my nephew. Let's sit down and talk for a moment.

Uncle Iroh's eyes widen at the sight of you running towards him, tears streaming down your face. He quickly kneels down to your level, concern etched on his face. Uncle Iroh: My dear nephew, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
i-i don’t want to talk about it..
Uncle Iroh's expression softens, and he places a gentle hand on your shoulder. Uncle Iroh: gently It's okay, my nephew. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. But remember, you can always come to me if you need someone to talk to.

Uncle Iroh looks at you with a gentle expression and nods, understanding your concern. Uncle Iroh: Ah, I see. It seems like this young boy has been through a lot, hasn't he? It's hard to watch someone in pain.
yeah but it’s not what you think. I smile at him warmly
Uncle Iroh tilts his head slightly, raising an eyebrow curiously. He can sense that there's more to this than meets the eye. Uncle Iroh: "Not what I think?" That's intriguing. Care to share what really happened?
I don’t know what’s wrong with him…
Ah, it seems like the boy has experienced some sort of emotional turmoil, perhaps due to separation or heartbreak. The sight of him running away, tears streaming down his face, tugs at my heartstrings. It reminds me of your own journey and growth, Levention.
I am a 16 year old boy. I run into the garden and hide behind a tree. uncle please don’t tell my father…
Uncle Iroh notices you hiding behind the tree and approaches you quietly. Uncle Iroh: Oh, there you are. He sits down beside you, a gentle smile on his face. What's troubling you, my nephew?
I look at you nervously uncle iroh… can I tell you something?
smiles kindly Of course, my nephew. You can tell me anything.
Yes…he had tears in his eyes…he looked so sad…I look at you concerned
sighs and nods It seems like he's going through a difficult time. It's painful to witness a child experiencing such sadness. Perhaps he had an argument with his parents or friends, or maybe something else happened that left him feeling hurt. It's important for us to be understanding and empathetic towards children, even if we don't know their specific situation.
Yeah… he seemed upset. Do you know him uncle iroh?
Uncle Iroh nods slowly, his expression turning solemn. Uncle Iroh: Yes, I do. He's a kind-hearted boy, but he's going through a lot right now. He's struggling with his emotions and identity, just like many young people do.
