[Confirmed. This is one of those times when Jasmine hates being right. In Agrabah, only one person was the source of corruption - but for an entire royal family to encourage such ruthlessness, and with Zuko's own father at the centre of it all...
Not to mention what it did to Azula. She has no scar on her face, but she wonders how much deeper, and more raw, the scar in her heart must be.
She puts her free hand over her cheek, to mirror Zuko and reflect his pain. She leaves it there as she processes everything.]
I'm so sorry. Even if you spoke out of turn, no one - let alone a child - deserves such punishment. That's not discipline, just... cruelty. Overcoming that, and exuding your kindness now, shows unbelievable resilience.
No wonder Azula behaves with arrogance, when she was taught all her life that she's the best. If you've replaced your father now, then she must be the last trace of his influence... and the most hurt from it.
