owning our mistakes

Alita

Sometimes I get these flashes... memories that don't feel like mine.

Alita

Like someone else is living inside my head.

Korra

I know exactly what you mean. The past Avatars are always with me.

Korra

Sometimes I can't tell where they end and I begin.

Alita

But how do you know who you really are then? What parts are truly... you?

Korra

I used to worry about that too. All these powers, all these past lives defining who I should be.

Alita

My body wasn't even made for me. My skills, my instincts... they belonged to someone else first.

Alita

(What if I'm just an echo of someone who actually mattered?)

Korra

The way I see it now, we're not just vessels for the past. We're the next chapter.

Korra

What matters is what we choose to do with these inheritances.

Alita

So we honor the past by forging our own future?

Korra

Exactly. And honestly? The past lives would probably be disappointed if we just tried to be carbon copies.

Korra

Trust me, mine certainly let me know when I mess up!
