You're right.
I've tried to train in fighting without my bending. But... I'm nowhere near as good. It's not the same. I don't think I can make it for long in a real battle with just my tonfas and what my body can do by itself. And in a place like that? ...Definitely not.
I didn't plan on leaving. I didn't want to run away. You should thank Shikamaru. And Mia. They helped me to realize that, that I'd done all I could. Even before the power cap when up... they saw I couldn't go on against those kinds of enemies. Fighting this kind of war. And I'm sure y-you'd say the same, if we saw each other that day.
