In his home at night, Ukano is woken by the Kemurikage spirits, who deem him a failure as the governor of New Ozai. Ukano is in disbelief, believing the Kemurikage to be a fable, used to make children behave. The Kemurikage tell him they have come to offer him redemption and proceed to insist that safety is born from strength. They tell Ukano that Zuko must be deposed, warning Ukano that his family and his nation will be vulnerable if he fails. Proclaiming themselves to be the truth, the Kemurikage vanish.
