Summary: Zuko feels like a new person after confronting his father

A Free Man

Zuko had never felt more free than he did during the eclipse, when he finally spoke his mind to his father. Just knowing that his father couldn't stop him was wonderfully exhilarating. The moment he announced his decision to join the Avatar, it felt like all of the worries and concerns he'd been feeling and the troubles he'd been having since his supposedly triumphant return simply evaporated. He no longer felt weighed down by uncertainty. He was finally doing the right thing and his spirit knew it. Shedding the lies he had been taught like a lizard-snake shedding its skin, he walked out of that encounter with his father as a new, freer man, certain of himself and what he was doing.
