I know she wouldn't.
[There's a pause here as she reflects - this conversation would be so much easier in person. There's a natural reticence to what she'll say that's private over the journals, even if this filter is completely private now.

I know you're saying this because you heard me this morning... and I wasn't in very good shape then. But I've had all day like this now. I won't let the Malnosso take the memories I have of someone who was precious to me and use it to hurt me. Not when I know that would be the last thing she would want.
...it's hard. Not just seeing her like this, but being her - what they're doing isn't right. And this isn't the first time they've done something like this to me. What happened to her... is never something I can just forgive. [And until I've faced the man who did this to her... it's not something I can just let go.]
But that doesn't mean it's not something I can't reach beyond. Even like this.. how could I do anything less? I won't let her down. [Because Katara has always felt, when her mom died, that all of her responsibilities were transferred on to her.] Especially not in her body.
