no seriously / original bones don't steal / or commit arson

The news gets worse.

The police nailed down a pattern - the guy found with the missing bones was one thing, but there were other missing persons, alternating genders, late teens to early twenties, all taken from the same part of town. Cops, including cops of the relevant age range, stalk the area, and one of them gives chase to a man who proves to be a firebender. He burns out most of a liquor store, proving it, and the cop loses him trying to meet him on the other side and goes back to help evacuate the units above the store.

There's security footage of the fire and some of the chase, rescued from the liquor store, and the media gets ahold of it.

Chali says this still isn't an Avatar matter. Beila, who has no detective skills anyway, defers to his expertise, meditates, reads her book - turns up to her firebending lesson.

After a moment, Spider clarifies anyway. "It's better than killing people because - because I feel okay and I'm not hurting anyone - why couldn't I have thought of this first..."

"You've thought of it now," says Dao. "So now you can do it. Okay?"

He nods. There is maybe a quiet sniffle.

Hey, if more hugs and crying is what this situation needs, Dao is there for it.
