don't wait for a knight in shinin' armor, your savior's reflected in the mirror
[That sure was a fucking thing. That execution was a fucking thing. Those secrets are a fucking thing.
Cabanela retreats to his room, but not for all that long. Everyone will get a note eventually, written in very neat handwriting
I do not plan on bowing down to threats and intimidation. If you did not act, it means you were, like me, aware of the risk, but decided against it. Your reasons are entirely your own.
Join me in the dining room if you agree enough is enough, and that you won't acquiesce to threats. I don't plan to let this stop me, and neither should you.

In the dining room itself, Cabanela has set up coffee and tea for those who want it-- there's no food, because to be honest, he doesn't know how to cook. Two more candles have been lit-- he wasn't really sure what to do about the whole... parasite thing... so Fern's candle will have to make due.]

What was his name? Your brother.

...
We never did find any remains, so a part of me still held out hope that he was still out there somewhere. I... suppose that was naive of me.
no subject
If you thought he was still alive, I don't see how you could be responsible for his death... It sounds like you were nowhere near him at the time. And it's not like you told him to die. Right?

[He sighs, leaning back a bit in his chair.]
Plus, there was always more pressure on him from the word go, because I was significantly worse at both bloodbending and standard waterbending.
...
I know... I'm not directly responsible. I shouldn't let all this get to me, but it's hard not to go through everything I could've done that may have made things turn out differently if I just hadn't been so weak.

That doesn't mean a small part of her isn't capable of understanding it now. Maybe not that weakness, but that responsibility; of being the one left standing because someone else is gone.]
You weren't weak, you were just young. In all those scenarios you've run through, one "what if" after another; do you really believe things would be different for the better if you'd acted another way then, or are you just getting by on wishful thinking?
